It's my super-cooled LNB setup. ;)

Actually, um, 28.2E. Got a few signal problems with Astra 2A/2B South and Astra 2D, but that's nothing to do with the frost. ;) Normally about half the Eurobird channels are just about OK and all the Astra 2A/2B North beams are very strong. With the frost and snow I'm just missing a few extra Eurobird channels so can live with it for now.

The dish came from a Canal Digital Lidl special 6th month prepay pack which has since expired so it's now used as a temporary dish until I get a slightly larger one sorted out (which I've been meaning to do for the past 3 years).
