I don't know if this is true as I don't get 10e but I have just seen the report below elsewhere. If it is true (and still open) it would be a nice boxing day present for Tivu and no doubt many others.

I shall take a look and let you know :-thumbup
 
Well I've got a weak signal, but not enough to acquire in any meaningful way.

Will look later and see if propagation improves.

Thanks for the info! :-gnome
 
Ah, hope it gets better; Satelliweb now reports the feed as 11664 H 5632 shouldn't really make a difference but you never know with weak signals!
 
Yup its there and an easy catch on an 80cm dish here
 
Hmmm, I'm using a well aligned 1.1m and struggling!

I'll go clean and polish and see if we can do better.
 
Popped downstairs to try the 80cm and all is well!

I have the 1.1m purely for this sort of thing, so it looks like there is a problem somewhere.

Anyway, got the Cricket, so that's me for the day :-googly
 
Strange - its a nice strong signal here:

SNR 85%
AGC 99%
BER 0

Edit - Yah you are sorted :D

See you tomorrow :p

Yes, same same on my 80cm - It's the big dish that ain't producing the goodies!
 
With all the wet weather, it seems that the hardboard packing pieces used to stabilise my Patio Mount and to fine tune Elevation have become soft and compressed.

It is much easier to finish elevation with these packing pieces than it is to use the TD110 slider bracket, as all Triax owners will know!

I'll leave it until we get some milder, drier days, though.

I know the feeling! I also have a ground mounted motorised 1m (Orbital) dish in soft/muddy ground! I have now eventually got it at its optimal place (I think) --- in the past a hair's breath difference in the in situ arrangement has made for frustrating moments when it comes to weak signals, especially on Nilesat!
 
Even more importantly, just as we were getting back on top, the weather has closed in and play halted.
