My System: 1.25mt steel dish Inverto Quad LNB Digibox:Pace ds430N and Pace sky+ |
Hello again guys. I have a question that I only remembered to ask now as it has started to happen again. Around this time of the year I lose all the 2d channels at around 10 or 10:15 for about fifteen minutes and then they come back. Could this be related to the time of the year and the way the satellite is positioned at this time? Has anybody else experienced this before? It is only at this time of the year. Thanx | ||

My System: 30W,7W,13E,16E,19E & 28E Dishes everywhere Darkbox 2008HD Sly+ V3 | Yes the sun is directly behind the satellite at this time and the solar radiation swamps the signal. They are called the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes | ||

My System: Sky Plus V3 TDS 470n, Pace 2600CI, Thomson Sky HD, Technomate 1000D, Prodelin 1.8m dish + Invacom Quad C120, CM feed, Lacuna/Wolsey V3 meter | Happens always just after and just before the equinox, and it only affect fringe viewers in mainland Europe and beyond. To predict the exact times, see: _http://www.satellite-calculations.com/SUNcalc/SUNcalc.htm The plus side is quite often good reception after midnight when Astra switch the batteries on during 2D's eclipse. | ||

My System: 1.25mt steel dish Inverto Quad LNB Digibox:Pace ds430N and Pace sky+ | Thanks guys for your help. It also happened to a friend of mine so I know now it wasn't my box.How long does this last for? The first time it happened last year, I nearly died thinking that the system had gone boo boo and I only with a recent installation. Cheers | ||

My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 | Strangely, the larger your dish the quicker it finishes - a large dish has a narrower beamwidth than a small dish. Normally, it's all over and done with on each satellite in 5 minutes or less.
