To update you on the new LNB which I got from UK a couple of weeks ago. I had it installed just over a week ago by the local guy, Thomas, who also checked the alignment etc, and my signal immediately improved so I could see all the UK channels again - some were a bit pixelled but got a good...

Thanks Steve Steve. I have just spoken to the UK supplier who I bought my original dish from as he has always been very helpful. He sells these LNBs for £16.99 - his website is: http://www.redappledigital.co.uk/Octagon-Optima-Slimline-Twin-0-1dB-LNB-p/octots.htm. For that price it is well...

This is very interesting. I will try to translate all this for my french installer who fortunately is young and seems to be very up to date on all this stuff, and he understands a lot of english technical terms so this will make sense to him. Thank you very much. I will let you know the outcome.

Thanks for your message. When I say I lost all my channels, I meant the regular UK channels: all the BBCs; all the 4 channels; all the 5 channels; all ITV; ITV2. I still had CBS channels, BET, Horror, True, etc, but did not check them all as I never look that far down. The installer did check...

Not quite sure how this works but to reply to the kind people who have replied to my original post, just to let you know the very nice local satellite man came today, (he installed my 1.10m dish last year which I brought with me from UK). However, on checking the tv this morning before he came...

Thank you also for replying and for the good advice re the tv man's visit tomorrow.

Thank you for replying. What are the 'encrypted channels' please?

Re all the discussions above from last December, it is now 19 May 2014, I am still in La Seyne sur Mer and have now completely lost all UK tv channels. I had last successful recordings on 5 May, since then nothing works. My friends in Cagnes sur mer have also lost all their UK tv. The local...

Thank you for kind advice. I realise that it would be easier to have the dish on the ground but not possible for me. Meanwhile, all my channels, except Channel 5, have been back since I got home in December, in spite of heavy rain and wind so it is still a mystery as to what happened.

I too did 16 years of hard labour on my little house in Pagham, Bognor Regis, UK, and suddenly it was worth enough to get me a little house in La Seyne sur Mer. Almost a straight swop and God got me here, beyond my wildest dreams, and I am really happy. The french neighbours have welcomed me...

Not sure how to use this forum to update my own page, but need to let all people who have replied to my original post that my tv signal has returned and all channels are back. I did nothing and have cancelled the visit from tv man, although one evening last week the signal faded again for some...

Thanks peapod1! As you are so near to me in Bandol, do you have a tv man to recommend in case mine cannot fix problem?

Thanks again PaulR. I will try this. The tv man is coming tomorrow so he can help me too.

Thanks for your response. I await the local tv man - he is young and highly technical so I am hoping he will be able to use all the advice I have received from this forum and get the problem sorted. I will also contact Humax customer service to ask them about the lightening problem.

Thank you for your kind advice, although my dish is high up on my roof so wiping it is not possible for me. You refer to 2F, what is this?
