In Lanzarote I have heard rumours that we may be able to receive ITV etc for a while, is it 1N.? I am near Playa Blanca.

Can you tell me what dish adjustments and retuning etc are necessary please.:-thumb1

[EDIT: Too slow]

In particular this post




Should be able to get ITV 11053h on 1N, location Playa Blanca on a 1.35m

You will need spot on alignment and a good LNb (Black Ultra).

Thanks guys.

Just checked my signal strength - its hovering between 50 and 60%, the quality is 10%. Tried scanning 11053H but nothing found. Haven't tried fine tuning the dish yet.

Can you tell me who stocks the Lnb at a good price please.?

For any chance of 1N, in particular the above transponder; it is absolutely critical to get the dish peaked using a meter, and by the use of a decent LNb (Black Ultra for example). The sky box / receiver tuner may also play a part where some receivers may or may not not pick up the above.

That's the skew adjustment and setting relative to your location.
