[QUOTE="BLUEPLATINUM, post: 872816, member: 176530"] The impression I am getting is that the results here in the Canaries are slightly inconsistent. There is a mixture of folk getting nothing and one or two receiving both Horizontal and Vertical TPs. I suspect the reason for this is that we are right on the "cusp" just like in the 2D days. There are a lot of variables ... receiver sensitivity, dish size, dish quality, LNB quality, scew and dish alignment. I believe that a professional installer should be able to tweak most systems to work with 2E and 2F UK spot beams. The luck ones will just need a bit of realignment and others may need to invest in new LNBs, receivers or other equipment. I have been recommended an installer here in Gran Canaria who apparently is always determined to squeeze every last bit of signal from every dish and can do so. I am going to wait until the ITV/C4 moves on Tuesday and then get him in for a look. Today I have been monitoring BBC2 Scotland all day and have consistently had an almost watchable picture so I am cautiously optimistic. Even if I can only get Horizontals perfectly it will be enough for me (especially if the HD TP 61 - 11023 H come in). [/QUOTE]
