I used to get a good bunch of TP from 8w (with quite high levels) until Dec 15th, now nothing(Yemen,saudi,dubai,qatar...)
And a few,above 12000 ones from 7w ,(TV5Maghreb,Egypt's Nile TV bunch,Tunisia,Sudan muxes)when night comes.
Now nothing,when 5w and the 4,8E Ukrainians come as strong as usual, and the 14w Russians too,solid.
Maybe the Russians are jamming? lol

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Not sure what happened last April when I was getting near 10 or over 10. I think they changed the strength . Don't think it was FEC

@scopus - how long have u had the CM up for ? do you notice much difference signal wise between the two? do you favour one versus the other?
