[QUOTE="woborny, post: 1072540, member: 285914"] Joddle: In our area ITV HD channels tend to be on of the three weakest channels to get (the others being the discovery sd frequency that also carries Quest SD, and the UK TV group - Dave SD etc). Although STV HD is a lot stronger than others. The prime focus 1.2 you have will be right on the limit for reception of those channels, and as you think , if the dish has beeen moved by renters then that could be you main problem.... especially if the LNB skew has been changed as those three batches of channels are also very very skew sensitive. Mr French: "but no ITV even though I can get ITV+1 " If this is on a Sky HD box, then you may have been allocated on 103 ITV HD... as above ITV HD is very skew sensitive. (you should be able to get ITV on its non HD channel -sky 803) BBC Radio 1 and 2 are on a horizontal frequency BBC Radio 3 qand 4 are on a vertical frequency They also share their frequencies with a number of BBC TV services also : check bbc parliamnet, bbc one and two wales (SD) for example... Suggests dish alignment or LNB issues since you can get these channels easily on a 110x120cm dish (heck i just about get them perfectly here on my 80x85cm dish - ok no dish wobble or rain fade margin, but they are there!)
