[QUOTE="Muddler, post: 175106, member: 207098"] :-newb Hi People Anyone out there regularly viewing Greek programs from Hellas Sat 2 39E? Back in early December 2005 I installed a Raven 70cm mesh, fixed dish feeding a Fortec Lifetime Ultra FTA receiver. (Published figures suggest that for our Northamptonshire location Hellas reception should be ok on 50cm dish). Reception of all available programs was good until early February. Break up of sound became apparent on most, but not all of the required Greek channels. Annoyingly, other, less desired channels from this satellite appeared to be unaffected. Dish alignment was checked and found to be at optimum position. LNB temporarily replaced by another new unit with no improvement. Another receiver was tried with similar lack of improvement. By chance it was discovered that the problem appeared to be confined to the channels residing at receiver program locations 1 to 8. As an experiment these channels were moved individually to locations starting at program number 11 and upwards. This solved the problem, all Greek channels worked ok again :-DOH! . Decided to leave it like that to see what happens next. Nearly four weeks later, problem has returned. ERT and channel showing Hellas Sat 2 promotional video working perfectly but sound break-up and video freezing has returned to all other Greek channels. I have decided that a larger, solid dish will have to be tried next. Does anyone out there have any other ideas or comments? [/QUOTE]
