[QUOTE="trigger, post: 261638, member: 186777"] Been having similar problems over here in the Canaries. Last Summer there were no signal problems at all. So much so that the 2.3M Famaval would work all evening and not suffer until 1.30am ish. As the winter drew in this time became earlier until eventually it was going at about 7.30pm. The 3.1M works all year as long as its correctly aligned. This summer we have been seeing problems at the 7.30 mark - on the 2.3M - (which is great as its soap time so I don't have to watch it!!!) which then clear up again about 8.30-9pm. Had a very strange one 2 nights ago whilst watching BBC1 the signal was fine with no blocking at all at 9.58pm. By 10.01 the picture had broken up so badly the picture was unrecognisable and the picture was completely frozen. This is so unusual as it happened so quickly. Normally you would expect any problems to show with a few blocks then clear then a few more etc. This went from good to bad in no time at all. The weather had not changed and there was hardly any wind to blame. By 10.25 the picture was back with absoloutly no problems at all, not a flicker for the next 3 hours. Strange!!!! From memory (and its getting old and tired) the Astra birds "move" around in a 36km squared immaginary cube in the sky. Is it possible that they are in a slightly different place at the moment - of course this would not be seen in the Uk but in fringe areas may be why Iceman etc are having to lower the elevation. I think anyway, Altzeimers does run in the family!!O-Ha [/QUOTE]
