[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1014607"] Since you are receiving something from around 28.2E, I speculate the dish has slipped just a tiny bit to the west. It may now be pointing at 28.1E (or 28.2E rather than 28.35E). The BBC stuff is on 2E, which is actually at 28.5E. If you are at 28.2E, 28.5E is more difficult to catch (the larger the dish the more pronounced this becomes.) Taking Analoguesat's comment into account, it probably doesn't take much to upset the signal where you are. Here in DK, reception is similar to your position: A 1.2 will deliver, but it *must* be pointing at 28.5 for the 2E/BBC channels, 28.2E gives the HD stuff, but screws with the BBC channels. If I am right, you should consider re-tuning the dish, and choosing between SD BBC-ITV-CH4/5 etc, and the HD stuff. As it is only a little little bit, retuning shouldn't be a massive job. (Especially if you have a meter). (But this is all guess-work: I will suggest retuning in any case, but you may want to exhaust other causes first) [/QUOTE]
