You're a bad, bad, man.

Lol was not intentional. That might explain though the sudden rise in digibox purchases in Nigeria...

Located 40Kms inland from Alicante, using a Portuguese 2.4M Solid dish (previously had a Fortec2.4) with Invacom twin C120 LNB, Pace 2600, and DS430N.
Getting 24/7 coverage (well actually not stayed up after about 1.30AM) so from 0700 to 0100 24/7 coverage of all Sky Programmes with following exceptions
ITV Midlands comes in about 10.00AM daily and then ok for all day
BBC2 drifts in a little earlier, better on CH 961/962 than on 102,
BBC3/4 comes in with BBC2, seems to stayon a littlelonger
Pixelation onCH102 about 5.30 GMT for 35/40mins daily, ditton on 962, but others ok then
another bout of Pixelation then at approx 2330 for same amount of time and then BBC3/4 becomes unwatchable at about 0130....
Sky Movies can be a little erratic but a channel change will usually resolve problem.
On average Sig strength about 50% Quality about 30%, sometimes better, 07d4,

Have moved you post from the ancient thread Mike4t, as that survey is no longer current. If you haven't already done so, could you post your details on the map linked above. Thanks.

I remeber seeing a detailed map of 2D's european footprint recently.
It looked very much like this from www.astra2d.com of France:

Can anybody guide me to right map?

 

[PaulR]

Is this the one you mean?

 

[puffin]

Perfect. Thank you;)

Map location and comments (33 chars max?) have been submitted.

Currently have a Smart Titanium 2nd edition LNB mounted on a 1.1m offset feeding a Pace 2600C1.

BBC Northwest, ITV Granada & Channel 4 begin to pixilate around midnight at this time of the year.

I suppose I could get a larger dish but, if need be, I get around the weak BBC and ITV signals by tuning to BBC London and ITV Meridian.

Regards

Thanks Menorcaman.
