2 dishes - astra, thor & sirius.
Nokia mediamaster.
Amstrad sky digibox
Just bought an Amstrad sky digibox and have a spare sky catd from a friend in the UK, but unable to get reception.
With the Nokia mediamaster, i have all the BBC channels with approx 9dB signal strength.
Can anybody advise ?
 
Are you getting any signal strength reading on the Amstrad?

No, a picture appears and tells you there is no signal, wich is confusing because the nokia has reception but only FTA.

Where do you live in Sweden and what size is your dish?

Trosa & 100cm diameter. I have a feeling I need to get a bigger dish.

Your signal is just a tiny bit to weak to recieve with a 100cm dish. Invest in a good 120cm dish and a MTI or Invacom LNB and that would probatly do the trick. Pay attention to the skew which is very important here in Sweden.
