well last night (first time i tried it for a few weeks!) i had bbc2,3,4 all night..on my 1.8 and 2600 just up the road from you...something that occurs very rarely (maybe for 10-20 days a year)...so for whatever reason the signal for 2dHs was strong last night and may be a "unreliable" test benchmark.

Also would like to know until what time you can watch which channels on this dish....

Many thanks in advance

Andy.
I cant fault it, I really cant, Still getting BBC1 untill after 11pm but now got ITV1, & all the channel 4s 24hrs a day thanks to this site, If anyone can post a photo for me you will all have a laugh as its sat here on a pallet with a kerb stone to weigh it down and a rachet strap just in case it decides to have a wander, I have a large van so spent a lot of time since the last gales delivering 2.4 dishes for a guy down here and cant believe what people are paying out for a decent set up O well im happy thats the main thing all for £155 all in.

These are from midday today. I'll have another look tonight. The first is a SatCatcher, the second one a Darkbox. I've got a Pace 2600 coming in a couple of weeks so it will be interesting to see if there's much improvement.
