[QUOTE="stephenG, post: 887179, member: 402344"] By "all the other stuff" I mean the non BBC/ITV/C4/Channel5 channels the Freesat+ (Echostar HDS600) expects to see in Freesat mode, these all seem to be on Astra 2F and Eutelsat 28A (Astra 2F 99% signal and Eutelsat 28A signal 80%). The dish (reflector part only) is 110cm wide by 120cm tall (the Gibertini dish, marketed as 100CM dish, which I have been using for the last 4 years is 94CM wide x 100CM tall) - so maybe I stand corrected on the size if it should be measured horizontally. Given that up to less than a week ago I was able to get a signal on most of the SD BBC/ITV channels (HD has been out since feb) with the 94cm Gibertini I was also surprised to see absolutely no Astra 2E signal with the 110cm dish. By horn LNB I mean the type of prime focus LNBs used on "big dishes" that require the separate LNB / feed horn as opposed to a universal LNB. I was thinking of something like this [url]http://www.2galli.fr/boutique/images_produits/fMTISAP8PF_1-c410.pdf[/url] supposedly the AP8-T2FE can be used for offset dishes. But I think this is barking up the wrong tree. I am using an MTI High-Line quad universal LNB. Signal loss since last week was the same at all times morning afternoon, evening early hours... Since feb 2014 total loss of HD channels and occasional loss of SD channels particularly in the evening but generally ok during the day, until total loss last week. [/QUOTE]
