Hi sorry if this is in the wrong section ? Just moved out to Lanzerote and got sky pluged in but i cant seem to pick up channel 4, nor itv. Im only using a standard dish not a 3.1m one. Any advice or any contact number would be much appreciated. Thank You. | ||

HOWEVER, there are one or two variations available off the narrow beam which you *may* be able to get Cant get Astra 2D? Heres where to find the main psb channels | ||

My System: panasonic tudsb30 box | Well i managed to grab some time and get on the roof today. There is a bigger dish up there id say 2meters approx, but no lmb  and its pointing at a slightly different angle. Is it worth me putting the lmb from smaller dish on it ? and wireing it up? | ||

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. |
It'll make it easier to give the right advice. Also LMB = LNB (Low Noise Block downconverter)  | |||

You say your using a standard dish, what size is that out of interest? 2B North is also a problem, but can't be exact, maybe local member 'trigger' will see this post. For any chance of a sniff of the uk spot beam, for example, a CM 2.4m correctly set up is the absolute minimum here but you won't get anywhere near 24/ 7 coverage. The norm is a famaval 3.1m | |||
