Didn't notice a problem during the week though, but still OK right now. | ||

My System: Satellite: 88cms DiSEqC motorised dish (self-installed) covering 62E - 34.5W; Technomate TM6900HD Super Combo & TM5400 via IF loopthrough | I'm glad to read this because I thought there was a problem with my setup! I have a motorised 88cms dish down here in Sussex. At about 11PM last night (Saturday 12 September) all the Eurobird 1 channels that I flicked through were missing. There was a very weak signal from several EB1 transponders, but it was unusable. This morning the EB1 channels were back, but even about an hour ago I was watching the quality bargraph fluctuate wildly between about 58% and 73% Could it be a problem with the satellite itself or with the uplink station? Could it be weather-related somehow? Doubt it as it's been nice UK-wide this weekend! | ||

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me. | One would hope that potentially catastrophic failure modes have been considered as part of the operational plan: but Eutelsat are not exactly over-represented by clearly identifiable craft up there. At least SES-Astra have more shuffle room, which is probably no consolation! | ||

 It was supposed to go to 16e until something went tits up on it while it was being moved to its orbital position. They parked it at 3e and its been there ever since. Its just broadcasting a few free to air channels It only has one active transponder on the go at the moment  Nano | |||
