[QUOTE="mazen_094, post: 574203, member: 181156"] Hi Paul, I know from my relative in Cyprus that they have the same problem and in order to receive good Astra 2A signal, you'd have to : - Use a 4.5m prime focus dish OR - Use a 2.4m Offset-fed dish. MINIMUM I reckon the situation in the Czech republic is pretty much the same as it appears from the satellite footprint. Usually, British channels announce the reception parameters on their official websites and, to my knowledge, these are the only applicable parameters to receive these channels. From my experience, there is no way out of this and all you can do is buying high-quality stuff to increase the chance of good reception. So try the following things: - Good LNB, albeit it can be pricey ;-) , like Invacom (there are many other good makes in the market, however). - Good dish from a good manufacturer or a good make (have no idea what this can be) - Good coaxial cable (something double stranded or with an Aluminium shield, etc). - Good receiver that sports a good RF box. By doing these things you will have optimised everything that falls in the signal path till it reaches the decoding stage. Apart from that there is no workaround, I'm afraid. Best of luck in your efforts to receive all of Astra signals and don't forget to write about your experience. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
