[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1074891, member: 187442"] A lot of satellites are co-located, in certain areas, so at about 28 East there are 3 satellites, Astra 2E, Astra 2F and Astra 2G: [CODE]https://www.lyngsat.com/europe.html[/CODE] Generally, this doesn't matter, instead you look at the satellite beams, and satellite footprints, to see what size dish, is required, and if you can get the channels, mainly due to providers switching to spot beams, focussed on one area, like the UK spot beams. [CODE]http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/footprints/Astra-2E-UK.html[/CODE] If possible check your receiver on a neighbours, friends, or relatives, dish, to rule that out as the problem, then check your connections, and cable, as these are most prone to damage, followed by your LNB and dish, to see if there is an obvious problem. I'm not sure why you had a problem with the £10 satellite meter, as these are very basic, and easy to use, but the more expensive meter should check your dish/LNB setup. [/QUOTE]
