I get it very easy on my 1mtr here G, I am sure an 80cm would bring it in in my location.

Too many sheep in the way here.

A whimsical response to Martin in a desperate attempt to explain my relative lack of Press TV signal

The bottom line remains that your Sky type dish is too small.

 

[Archived-1]

Tivu is up in the moors psx, did you not have problems with a tree a while ago around 11W tivu

 

[Lazarus]

Nope. Far-Eastern Arc is my problem.

Nope, is there another satellite with PressTV that I can get with a Sky dish?

I get it here topper but I am on my 1.2 and its HD

Hopefully there will be more opportunities for us to hear other views in the future.

Right or wrong , we perhaps ought to be able to make our own minds up.

@martin-f: Yes, Press TV HD on 13E 12437 H 29900 is very strong.

A Sky Dish should get that no problem.

Thanks, How come it put me as moderation?

 

[Topper]

The software requires a minimum post count before allowing you to stop going into the moderation queue, nothing more sinister than that
