[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 382713, member: 176362"] Thanks for the response. Could you explain to me the bit about [I]the Arab satellite causing interference are certainly plausible where an installation is sub optimal. [/I] Does that mean poor reception of channels if he doesnt do his job properly? [B]Yes, or if the dish is a bit small for the location, so picking up less signal from 28E[/B] Also the bit "[I]Lets see - Channel 4 is transmitted on 12168V on 28E. Badr 4 - ahah - Ghiras TV on 12169V Thats likely to be your problem[/I] [IMG]http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/../php-bin/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/IMG]" Are you saying that's true or was that tongue in cheek? [B]Nothing tongue in cheek about it daisy. All satellite dishes will accept signals from off main axis satellites. You are trying to get a very weak signal off 28E. Theres a fairly strong signal on the adjacent satellite at 26E which is on an almost identical frequency AND on the same polarity. And your island is virtually in the strongest part of the footprint for 26E. Im not saying Im certainly right, but Id say its very likely. [/B] Also, any truth in "[I][FONT=Verdana]It is also possible that Sky may have to remove terrestrial channels from their platform when the UK migrates from analogue to digital terrestrial channels in March 2008" [/FONT][/I][FONT=Verdana]?[/FONT] [B] No idea, but Id say its unlikely. The BBC & ITV wont be leaving 28E or abandoning the Sky platform when Freesat starts simple because they arent going to throw away the viewers slouched in front of over 8 million sky set top boxes[/B] [/QUOTE]
