Hi everyone,
I was wondering whether the Beeb have reduced their signal at all on 2D at 10773H. I am asking as usually in Cyprus we have a bad reception window in the evening, usually for around an hour (typically 9-9.30 until 10 ish). Because this has been frustrating me badly, I swapped my feedhorn to a large type, which did make a bit of an improvement. ITV on 10714H is much better (still not perfect though), but the beeb is still quite bad, and is pretty unwatchable during this period.
I wonder what contributes to this hour break up period...any ideas, and any further ideas on how we may combat this? Looking at signal strengths, 10773 recently always looks lower than 10714, although they used to be pretty similar all the time. It seems strange that by changing the feed horn, ITV improved, but not the Beeb. I can only conclude that the strength on 10773 may have diminished a little recently. Its alway this damn signal quality which is suffering, and hence giving the pixelation!
Anyone else having similar probs in Cyprus?
Nice to see the frequency shuffle on Eurobird1 giving us a few more channels which we can get here though (True Movies1&2, and some music channels).
Cheers
Mike
