Greetings,
New to this forum, apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere but here goes: I've just installed a 90cm toroidal dish (Maximum/Wavefrontier knockoff) with four 0.2dB quad LNBs (also Maximum).
I have configured the four LNBs for Thor 0.8W, Sirius 4.8E, Astra 19.2E, and Astra 28.2E.
I installed the dish on my roof myself, but had a professional installer adjust all the details - azimuth, elevation, skew, etc. My location is 59.29N 18.22E (just north of Stockholm, Sweden). I'm using a Topfield 6000PVR receiver.
The issue I have is that I have excellent signal quality on the 2A/2B north beams, while my receiver doesn't seem to be able to pick anything up on the South beams. The sat footprint maps on lyngsat.com indicate I should have no problems getting the South beams in my location with my dish size. So the question is if this indicates a setup problem, or if my reception on the south beams is a borderline case in my location despite what the footprint maps say.
I'm about to order a SkyHD package. Will I be able to get all the Sky HD channels even if I can't get the south beams? Are all the HD channels broadcast on both beams or are some on one and some on the other?
Appreciate any suggestions.
thx
