This makes interesting reading: Which quad lnb?

Yes,I think that idea would work and more accurate than mine.They need to ditch the sat guy.Most of them can only work with one satellite.Before they start playing around all they need to do is put accurate scribe marks on the elevation scale,the pole/satellite bracket and the lnb before they...

I agree,all 3 versions of the 5402 can work fine

If they've found Hispasat then they can move the dish a precise amount using the values found on dishpointer for Prego di Cordoba: Hispasat @30w Elevation 39.2 Lnb 29.6 counter clockwise from the front of...

Have a chat with STARSAT, La TV dal Satellite .I know they can be helpful. I know of one chap in Milan that can receive the Uk spot beam with a 1m dish but only just.But I can also remember someone with a 1.25m dish having problems just 30 kms to the east of Milan.

Mine is easy to setup for 27.5W a Technomate 5402 M3 .I believe the M1 has a more sensitive tuner(you can get them on E-bay sometimes).I'd go for a good lnb like the Inverto Black Ultra single .As for dish size,I agree with what's been said above,maybe 85cm will work.A 1m would be be better.Cheers

I find the sd picture quality fine but the sharpness level is at 15.My eyesight isn't brilliant but I have been to Specsavers.

Just tried on my M3 and the picture is almost monochrome apart from strong colours which so through.I find the picture to be great,normally.I've got a Sony Bravia 40".If the controls are neutral on your other receivers then I'd suspect the M3.Give Technomate a call,they're very helpful.Cheers

There's Rb0 (vpid 701,apid 702 and ppid 701),sd channel now.Apparently there's still a Rb1l(vpid 901,apid 951 and ppid 901) which I think is the original Red Button but comes up scrambled for me.Tried manually entering and linking to key but still no show.

Oh.That's the first time I've noticed red button missing.Comes up with Scrambled Channel now.

Have you tried Add Channels :Video type H264,Audio type MPEG4 ,Vpid 7601,Apid 7602,PPid 7601 ?Should work.Don't forget to link channel to key.

If you're a UK citizen you can sign,you don't have to be a resident. Also if you wanted to vote and you've been a non resident for less than 15 years,you can eg for the EU referendum.

Yes,I think so but,as you say,see what @st1 or others say.Cheers

`Also have a look at this thread,Scandinavian and Baltic reports: Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports st1 is in your town and has a variety of dishes

I'd say yes(edited) but see what others say.Here's Analoguesat's reception map and 1.2 dishes aren't getting the spot beam(this carries the UK 's bbc and itv channels): Analoguesat's Astra 2E UK reception reports Try and find someone that can receive the BBC channels and check their dish...
