Almost certainly a bigger dish required - but can you please tell us what LNB you are currently using?

Thanks for the quick response!
The LNB, motor and dish came as a cheap package, so I guess it's a pretty basic one.. excuse my ignorance, but pretty new to this.

I wish they would lave things alone. I've only just sorted things out since the last one :-doh

1,8 Channel Master, Black Pro LNB with CM feedhorn for 28 E which is my main interest when watching TV. VU+ DUO 4K SE, VU+ DUO 2, Octagon SF8008 and Vantage 8000 S and TS receivers. Fixed dishes at: 42 E (0,75 m), 28,2/28,5 E (1,8 m), 19,2 E (1,5 m), 13 E (1,1 m), 9 E (0,7 m), 5 E (1,2 m) and 1 W (0,7 m).

Sky News and Pick are now unwatchable here after the FEC change. GGrrrrr...
Quality has dropped from about 60% to 40% - made all the difference.
I guess a bigger dish is my only option?

Shouldn't you be be able to get 12 207 V with an 80 cm antenna in the southern parts of Italy (according to the coverage map from SES)?

11053H is now back to FEC 2/3. So appearently they wont change to 3/4.... good news for us fringies, especially because this transponder isnt weakend as much as the other ITV HD TP by the strong PE ones.

Apparently it's only a temporary change while some reciever firmware is fixed. Once that's sorted out I'd expect a lot more FEC changes, at least for ITV.
