[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 135756, member: 193607"] Just a reminder that peak sun outage day is today, 10th. October. This means the sun is directly behind the Astra satellites this morning, leading to loss of signal for those on the fringes of Europe. It does have one useful side effect, however, prospective dish installations can be easily assessed just by looking at the shadows from the sun at the correct time of day (11.40am here in Spain). If there is clear sun where you are thinking of installing your dish, the site will get an unobstructed view of Astra 2. This also applies to other satellites, if you use one of the calculators below. This was discussed in an earlier thread: http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?p=264432#post264432 Sun outage calculators: http://www.satellite-calculations.com/SUNcalc/SUNcalc.htm http://www.selkirkshire.demon.co.uk...esat/intro.html http://www.globaltt.com/index-en.html?http://www.globaltt.com/(j4k2yf45x0nt2w550bprfpbh)/Tools/ToolsSolarOutage.asp [/QUOTE]
