I am not absolutely sure about the answers I will give but I believe you are pointing at Intelsat 901 which is 18 degrees west (of south) and Eutelsat W2A 10 degrees East (of south) with the 2 dishes respectively.



I use the following site, input Cyprus in the first box and then open the second menu to see all the satellites. In the northern hemisphere satellites are quoted as degrees from south i.e. 198 degrees is 18 degrees W (from south)



If you select your exact location on the map and the satellite you want to use it will show the angle, elevation and even offset rotation needed for some LNB's it will even show any height of obstruction issues that might be in the area.

I hope this helps but I am only filling in for the wife on this and there are many more experienced satellite people on the forum who can fill in the gaps I have left out

Terry, if you are implying that I am advertising something then please ignore any help I have tried to offer, if however you are genuinely in need of an answer then perhaps you could do a google search for the available channels on the satellites I believe you are looking at with the 2 dish positions, I gave the information in my above post so that you could confirm what I have stated.

If you really want to know what channels you might be able to find you could use this site but I find it difficult to find my way around although you still need to know which satellites you are pointing at to know what channels you might be able to receive.

I can't help anymore than this, if you think I am doing anything else than helping, please feel free to ignore the advice I hoped I might be helping you with.
