[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 879660, member: 176256"] Hi Setanta If you look at the map that Analoguesat has produced (for the 2E satellite spot beam but 2F is similar) from various reports here [url]http://goo.gl/maps/Ha4xf[/url] you can see that a 110cm dish near to St tropez is producing a weak signal. This suggests that you would need to go up to a 1.5m to be reasonably sure of getting the spot beams. Maybe a well set up quality 1.2m would do the trick is a moot point and, if you were an experimenter, would be a good starting point. However, you should still have been getting the subscription channels on your $ly + box. When you say "went down the tubes", have $ly 1 and the like gone? As I said above, this points to another problem if so. Fitting a Freesat box at the moment would be no use as Freesat and $ly use the same satellite and channels for the FTA (free to air) channels such as the BBC, ITV, C4 and C5 use. [/QUOTE]
