My System: 2.4m dish Pace DS430N. Kaon receiver 120Gb drive. 90cm Motorised, invacom Lnb, Dragon, Diablo. PC twin 2.4Ghz processors, 600Gb Harddrives.
BBC and ITV in Costa Blanca Driving me MAD

I have installed satellite dishes for years and managed to do many motorised systems big and small. BUT I am being driven MAD trying to get BBC and ITV in the costa Blanca in Spain. I had a 1.8m dish and could not even get a signal for Astra 2D, so I purchased a 2.4m dish and still I get no signal for astra 2D. Dish is perfectly aligned and has a clear view to the sky. I have tried 3 different LNBs and then purchased a new one. I get the usual rubish from the other Astra Satelites e.g. Sky news, Reality etc. However there seems to be NOTHING on the 10GHz signals. I have also connected the dish to a Kaon receiver and tried to tune the transponders in manualy but there is NO SIGNAL on the 2D transponders. I seem to get nothing between 10.714 and 10.936 Ghz.

The Sky box I am using is a Pace DS430N I have changed the default transponder to 12129 and have nearly a full signal on both the signal meters when I set the box up. However when I look at the signal meter after, then there is nothing there. But still get the other channels, nothing on 2D.


WHAT AM I DOING WRONG ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
