My Hotbird dish has been storm battered already - its shifted somewhat and Ive only got intermittent signals on the stronger tp's..... Coffee then I shall dash outside & see if I can fix it in the middle of the storm.......

Situation improved with some botch job bracing. It will have to do until the wind eases off. We have gusts nudging 50mph according to the met office site.

Don't think I'll have any chance in picking up any feeds/weak TPs this year. Heavy Rain scheduled down this way from 1pm all the way through till tomorrow morning

Think it'll have to be 13E & 19.2E only for me this year.

No family fireworks on Al Jazeera Mubasher this year. Actually would not be surprised if many midnights will get bumped on this channel due to turmoil across the Gulf. They sure don't feel like showing raw feeds at the moment.

All set here!

Although with a twist I am now streaming over the internet my satellite feed from an offsite location.

Currently locked into the reuters feed awaiting NZ

Thanks

Morning all! Just had to fix my 7e dish, lovely storm swung it round 180 degrees! Whoops. All good to go now though.

Reuters news on 22 west have the count down to the new year on currently showing 6 mins to go.

Auckland online in HD.

Using Reuters is cheating!

Though last year I went to 22w on New Years Day and my RX suddenly went haywire and took an hour to fix. So I am not going to chance it.

Not long to go, the excitement is mounting . . . pee-pee is rolling down my leg . . .
