[QUOTE="richardinalex, post: 21702, member: 176119"] Frassle In a different thread here you've told me that [B]I'm in the south of Cyprus so I'm a bit closer to you, we are probably only 100 miles apart. Presently using a 2.7 and picking up 2D. Struggling with an 80 metre cable run though. Like you I tweak this adjust that etc. I do have a digital analyser on it but 2D is just under it's threshold. When I was using a 1.8 I would use 11740 V 27500 2/3 and that would usually work sometimes with channel 4.[/B] Thanks for that info Frassle. I've already got someone looking out for a 2.4m dish to improve 2A signal quality - the FTV channels I can see at the moment have (occassionally) had picture lock. The signal strength I'm getting on the 1.8m is about 60-70% according to the Grundig decoder. I'm thinking of changing the cable to a higher standard (someone told me RJ12 cable - but I'm yet to do my homework on this!) Are you picking up 2D (BBC channels) on the 2.7m dish in Cyprus. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get it from and how much was it? If you are receiving 2D I think I'll put the word out to try and find a slightly larger dish (although legally I think Egypt restricts it dish size to 2.4m - anything larger could disrupt National Security!!) Please let me know. Cheers [/QUOTE]
