Now also with audio recorded with a separate SDR

A few people asked about the hardware I use. Main part is a 2.5m offset dish, feeding a 5.5 turn helix. Signal then goes through a custom Meridian LNA followed by a line amp. Then a bias-tee, and in this case also a splitter and two SDRs 
As @coastal8049 already explained, this is possible because the satellite receives in a band that's used by TV broadcasting (among other things).
A few times a day it passes through the main beam of the TV tower, allowing it to relay a relatively strong signal
