I have recently bought a satlink ws 6923 but unable to find ses 5 satellite as nothing seems to be broadcast in dvb can I use this meter to find dvb-s satellites?

Thanks Rob

According to Lyngsat there seem to be a few DVB-S transponders on SES 5 @ 5.0°E

I don't think that SES 5 beams to N. America if that is your location.

I believe the OP lives in South Africa.

Should be able to lock onto the GlobeCast TP's on the SSA beam.

(although, being 'over here' can't confirm if they are still there, but the 'report' date @ lyngsat isn't that 'old')
