Hello Guys,
I am a bit confused as astra has introduced this new platform (1N) in place of astra 2d that is currently inactive.
1)Now, my first q is this: I currently have a Kaon receiver that, at moment is configured to astra /eurobird (28.2) in london, uk.
I can receive pretty much all the fta channels including the bbc's and itv's channels and so on. But there is no Channel 5 and no Channel 4 ? I mean the channels appears in the list of FTa channels but, unlike the others, the screen is black , no signal is being got.
Why is that??
2) my second q is this; So , the fact that now all the uk terrestrial channels have moved to astra 1n , which I trust has a more flexible footprint that previously experience on astra 2d, does it mean that in southern europe, to pick the signal up, we no longer require a huge disch (eg 2.4 or 3m wide dish)???
many thanks
Rob
