[QUOTE="max.max, post: 131408, member: 183585"] I think is a good advise to get yourself a spare invacom (possibly a 0.3 dual monoblock, about 30 euro, or even better a C120 with separate flange and waveguide, about 50 euro) and give it a try. It is quite possible that the bloody wasp [img]images/icons/icon8.gif[/img] has damaged the waveguide. It is very delicate and a small scratch on the inside surface can produce a loss of even 0.5-1.00 Db which can make the difference between seeing BBC or not in Tuscany with a 2mt dish. It is also very likely that the most hated bird (2D, most hated in fringe reception areas) has been slightly turned, just like it allegedly happened on 2A a couple of years ago, in order to make it catch more light because of one faulty solar array motor. They may turn the whole satellite instead of just the solar wings without even thinking of the service outage for the poor sods living in the fringe reception areas. On the top of that, it is also very likely that they would prefer improving the service in spain, were the british community is huge, with respect to italy. What can I say, try the new invacom and hope for the best since 2mt is a fairly big dish and it might still work. [/QUOTE]
