Pace Sky plus box with 93 cm dish
My Location
Hungary
I have taken a Pace Sky plus box over to a holiday home in Hungary and have problems picking up BBC 1, BBC 2 and ITV
Can receive Ch4 and Ch 5 plus Sky Sports ( on subscription ), Sky news and BBC News 24

Have Dual LNB ( BS1R8EL200A) with 93cm dish
Freq 11.778
Pol V
Symbol rate 27.55
FEC 2/3

Signal strength from set up menu is 10 to 15% Quality of signal is 80%

Local Sat company provided dish and did install - tried tweaking dish position but still unable to obtain BBC1, 2 and ITV

I will have issues up sizing Sat dish as on side of bungalow
any ideas please ?

Welcome to the forum sdavies182

You are lucky to be getting what you are with such a small dish... unfortunately in this case bigger is better

93 cm dish - far too tiddly :-rofl2

Vertical tp's are available on 1.8m dishes in parts of Hungary. The Horizontals are not available even on 3m dishes in the Budapest area.

Thanks for the advice

being technical from my mother's side of the family why can I get some channels and not others when essentially they are being beamed from the same Sat ?
I would have thought it would have been a case of all or nothing

In exreme fringe conditions strange things happen - there will be minute power fluctuations between different transponders and tiny imperfections in the dish array up on the satellies. None of this makes the slightest difference to north western Europe but can affect the extreme fringe viewers.

And don't forget that it's not one satellite, there're 4 up there transmiting (plus a fifth waiting to go). The 2A and 2B satellites have north and south beams, Eurobird has fixed and steerable beams and 2D is just damned tight in its beam. Then there is the variation between the horizontal and vertical polarities.

Is it any wonder it's all so variable?

Hi, we can get ITV, Channel 4, Channel 4 +1. Five, Five USA and Fiver. Is it possible to get Film4 and, if so, does anyone know what frequency, polarisation, symbol rate and FEC do I need to input when using the services menu on my skybox with freeview?

Also, is there any chance of getting ITV2, ITV3 or ITV4 or any other similar channels here?

Thanks to all

Steve

Film 4 is part of the Freesat package but it is on Astra 2D so perhaps not receivable on a 1mtr dish in Hungary

10714 H tp 41 22000-5/6

Not without putting up a very big dish indeed.
