Hi all, I'm new to the forum although I have been looking in from the outside for a bit.
Also I'm completely new to satellite TV and have really have learnt what I need to know from the internet.
However with my wife being Dutch and xmas on the way, I though I would install a system for her to watch the basic Canaldigitaal channels (SBS6, NPO1, RTL4 etc) which are broadcast on 19.2 as well as 23.5.
From what I understand Canaldigitaal are slowly switching over to 23.5 so I have (or thought I had) found Astra 3 on a single LNB on a TD88 dish.
I'm in south Essex but I can't seem to better 80% strength and 70% quality.
Half the Dutch channels break up after 5-10seconds and are annoying to watch, while the others don't and are perfect.
So this morning I thought I would adjust my dish to 19.2 to see if I can get better quality and so I set the finder on my receiver to help me.
But I instantly hit a confusing problem? The receiver told me I was already on 19.2?
I switched back to 23.5 and it said the same thing?
How is this possible on a single LNB? Is it possible one of the Astra satellites is broadcasting the other if you know what I mean?
Now the other problem is I now have is I don't now know if I'm on 19.2 or 23.5? Sounds daft but up a ladder with my iPhone and 'Dish Align', there's not much in it?
My coaxial runs are good. My LNB is an Inverto Black Premium (would changing it to a Black Ultra or Technomate Gold help?).
So any advice would be most helpful. Many thanks for listening.
