So, other than solar outage, and eclipse effect, we are roughly on a par with Feb ( First Contact! ), so I would assume from that we should be " safe " with the dishes we have in my area.

Unless they turn the wick down.

What will 2G be used for? Will the Sky channels on 2A go there?

Don´t suppose you made any hard copies on CD?
No but I've got all the graphs I posted here for reference.

What happened was the receiver fell asleep after a power cut and I wanted to delete some duff entries... and I use a < instead of a >. I.e. DELETE FROM `snr` WHERE `updated` < '2014-10-19 09:54:03'

And then it said 'operation complete, 40,000 entries deleted'.

BTW, I can't believe how strong the satellite is lately. Stronger that February now.

I have noticed that here too. Am now getting the S1 peaking at 10.4dB on 10773 on both BU Singles and Goobay quad LNB´s ( on Fam 1.4 dish )

With regard to the CM dish, because the signal has got stronger he is reluctant to change it out now, that said, I have just tempted him with a 1.8 Fam for 100€ which has just become available. Will let you know.

Something must have changed up there.
I never had a lock before in Lisbon and now I'm getting 2E uk beam. And this morning I could get a picture on channel 5 txponder on 2F for some time...
