[QUOTE="bignick, post: 360484, member: 190163"] Hi I think you may well be right on the edge (or even not quite there) with dish size. Check out _http://www.astra2d.com/germany.htm to see. Have you checked with anyone else that this setup will do it - at least with regards astra 2d? If 1.5m is enough then first up check your LNB has the correct skew on it, this is absolutely crucial with astra 2d! This should be about 11 degrees in your location. A common mistake is to set the LNB skew a top dead center as this 'looks right' but it couldn't be more wrong! You may still be able to get the other stuff with it set like this. You can check the signal strength useing your digibox (Pani 30 is best) - press services-4-0-1-select and selct manual tuning. Make settings for a 2D transponder such as 10714, 22.0, H, 5/6 (that one is ITV Anglia - others may work better in Berlin) I suggest local knowledge will be key for the strongest channels! Anyway once you key in settings, select find channels and press select ONCE. This will give you the signal for that particular transponder. If you are getting partial lock then you can start setting up from there. Hope thats enough to get you started. Cheers Nick [/QUOTE]
