[QUOTE="dave branson, post: 50756, member: 176076"] Hi Old Satellite. I can receive 2D re BBC, here in Florence with a 2mtr pf dish,i have experimented with various feedhorns,LNB,s, focal length and skew adjustments ect for the past year,and the plain fact is that with 50/55% quality signal from approx 10-00am till 19-00pm reception is perfect. The only time i received it for nearly 24 hrs a day was about 5/6 months ago. I recently learned that the ground station, adjusts the position of the satellite at certain times during the year. So if you are on the edge of the footprint,its a problem with such a weak signal from 2D. Also it would be nice to know some details of the installations in the south of Italy,ie locations,lnb used,as my digiboxs (1 Pace 2600, 1 Sony 7600) DO NOT work on my 2mtr pf dish (work for ch4/5 on a 1 mtr dish) i have tried about 6 lnb,s(MTI,S AFT,S ect) DaveB [/QUOTE]
