Hi – I hope someone can shed some light on what my problem might be.
Set up in Northern France with two satellite dishes feeding into one receiver, in order to receive French channels on Astra 19.2 and British on Astra 28.2. A couple of weeks ago, BBC and ITV channels stopped appearing, something they tend to do when the weather is bad, but this time they didn't come back.
I have fine tuned the satellites with a signal finder, reset the receiver and scanned for channels afresh. I have a full complement of German and other international channels from 28.2, but am completely unable to pick up any from Britain. I have tried manual scans of the transponders specified for BBC, ITV, etc without any success.
The signal strength/quality is shown as very good – 90% and over – and we are certainly comfortably within the footprint for British satellite reception.
I must be missing a trick somewhere – does anybody have any bright ideas?
Many thanks!
