Is something on its way out?

Reason it gets flooded is there are transponders that you can receive on a 60cm dish and you have a 2.4m. So those adjacent transponders are so strong the frontend can't filter them.

Who was the "distinguished and respected contributor"?
 
Who is he ? Someone who has helped me several times and who I would not identify unless he wished me to.
 
Sounds like a spy novel.

But that is opposite to what you described as symptoms, before?
See:

... the old Sony channel (Great) which at night shows 100% SQ which suggests the angle and skew are pretty well bang on but the SS is only from 45 to 60% and does drop out sometimes.

I even specifically asked, to check about that... :-(

Too high signal strength is a well-known problem, and that isn't caused by too big a dish, as far as I understand....

By the way this is just not true. Those are both on 12129 V, which is on the UK beam at a level of 7.1dB in this area. All surrounding transponders are on the pan-european beam with a power of more than 16dB on my 1.8m dish.

I don't need an attenuator probably because my boxes have decent tuners.

I've worked for 15 years here setting up dishes for UK TV and it is always the same handful of STBs that need attenuators.

What freesat boxes have decent tuners?
 
I don't do Freesat boxes. For UK TV I do enigma2 boxes. Set them up beforehand. Sky or Freesat numbering and 7 day EPG. I've got customers of all ages, especially older ones and they love them.
