[QUOTE="fla_independent, post: 523465, member: 291864"] Hello Until a month ago, we had been receiving all UK free-to-air TV on Astra 2 as well as international channels on Astra 1, but the picture quality started to deteriorate badly, so we tried tweaking the position of the dish, and ended up losing everything. We have managed to find Astra 1 again (I think the signal must be stronger?) but cannot get any of the UK channels. And now, the dish has started moving itself in a random way, so we might tune it in to Astra 1 today, but next time we turn on the TV, the dish will have shifted in the meantime, and the signal will have gone completely. Has anyone had experience of motorised dishes behaving in this way? Is it possible to stop the motor, and just use it as a static dish? Now feeling a lot less ambitious about the channels we'd like to receive - would just love to have the BBC before Wimbledon starts! If anyone can offer any advice, either on finding the UK channels on Astra 2, or on the erratic behaviour of our satellite dish, I'd be really grateful. Thanks in advance Frances (in northern France) [/QUOTE]
