[QUOTE="Satellite74, post: 796263, member: 379688"] I experienced this too here in central Germany just before the channels got moved to 1N. Astra 2D really must have been on its last breath, and the move must have come in the nick of time right before it became unusable. All of my Freesat BBC channels got a bit wonky (interestingly, ITV and Channel4 were still fine), the artefacts and dropouts eventually became so strong that it sucked the fun out of trying to watch [I]anything[/I]. SES Astra, UK broadcasters, and rights holders really weren't doing this for nothing - putting Freesat on a satellite beam which wasn't designed for the British Isles and is essentially a flawed makeshift spotbeam, and thereby supplying nearly all of Western Europe with prime free-to-air unencrypted content, especially during an Olympic year... they really must have had no other choice. Charity is not to be expected from them anyway... [/QUOTE]
