No change here, except when it rains, this week we have had rather a lot, more than in the last three years. 1.2 mtr offset.

Er yep 3db is double the power. Thanks Blue platinum for that info, must say I haven't heard of them but will look into it. I was told by a contractor for Movistar that they were going to up the cap because dongle users are at a disadvantage to land line, something to do with Brussels but you...

Only € 11,000 dollars, ahem, divide that by the projected life of the satellites and it works out at roughly 800 per year, providing ses don't change things like reduce power. My neighbour here is a surfer dude and is into board repairs ect. He doesn't think it would be too difficult to extend...

Good question DishDick, I live in the North of Fuerteventura, have a channelmaster 2.4 metre offset and can only receive 11052 and 11127 on 2f after much twiddling and changing to a technomate tm 5402HD M2. Depends where you are but I'd guess well over 3 metres. By the look of other posts on...

I will have to have a serious play with this I think, er indoors goes back to UK for a couple of weeks next week so that will give me time to do some research and correct any mess ups. The radiation pattern for the channel 5 mplx means left a bit, down a bit too but that is on 2F, if I align to...

Mmm, I read somewhere on one of these forums that 2E seems to be down on power slightly, my devious mind is telling me if that is the case, could it be deliberate? The only transponder I can lock a picture on 2E is 10.906v which carries an ITV mplx, I do have to pull the dish left and down a bit...

I did try a black ultra some time ago but found it slightly worse than the Invacom twin which must be six years old now I guess. I did have to realign the dish to pick up 10.906v, I could just about lock a picture on ITV Channel but it was pixellating badly but then I upset the multiplex on...

Well, time has passed and it's stopped raining. I have been doing a lot of dish tweaking, now getting the ITV mplx on 11053 H and Channel 4 hd and 4 seven on 11.126 V all the time, even with some light cloud, very pleased as wifey can watch her soaps. I did get a pixelated picture from ITV...

I can only give you my experience, I have just changed from an openbox S16 which I thought was the best, until I got a Technomate TM5402 HD M2 CI super plus. Sadly it lacks a spectrum analizer but it holds a steady picture on the Astra 2f channels I get here when the openbox is stuttering and...

Hi Timo, I have been using openboxes for a couple of years, always worked very well on weak signals with the exception of the X5, not quite as good as the S 10 or S 16 but the technomate is far superior. Anyway back on topic, poured with rain most of yesterday so not able to try to lock BBC on...

Hola Peeps, Just changed my receiver from Openbox S16 to Technomate TM5402. Something interesting has occurred with 11053H and 11127V on 2f. when using the openbox I was getting clear reception of ITV ect for the daylight hours, faded at about 1845. now with the technomate I am getting clear...

Just had another thought, any surfer dude board builders wanna make some extension panels for the Channel Master?

Marnin peeps, thanks for the advice re dish cheeky monkey. I can only say in my experience, fiddling with the dish alignment and skew and flexing the feed point a bit it has got me Meridian ect on 11053 all day from early morning to 7pm when it disappears. Does this mean the bird is wobbling? 2f...

Hi Folks, I can report from Villaverde in the north of Fuerteventura all ITV and Channel 4 have gone, at the moment no sign of a signal from 2e uk spot, however, after much tweaking of my dish I am Getting ITV meridian on 11053h for much of the day, also four seven and 4HD on 11126v, no margin...

Ha Ha Capn Jack, we have had cloudy days and cool weather with some rain here in Fuerte for the last two and a half weeks, not weather for sunbathing, better now though. Telly is for the missis. Sorry to go off topic just this once
