[QUOTE="richardinalex, post: 21827, member: 176119"] This is a funny old game; Last night the better half went out – kids in bed early – plenty of time to play with Dad’s new investment. I thought I’d had this thing cracked – although I haven’t got the SKY card yet – I thought I could get most of the channels (except 2D) – think again. I checked each transponder and I was a bit baffled about my findings – have a looksee [B]Astra 2A North[/B] – 20 transponders – pick up 10 – no signal on 10 OK on 11739V, 11817V, 11836H, 11876H, 11895V, 11973V, 12051V, 12109H, 12129V, 12422H No Signal on 11778V, 11798H, 11856V, 11914H, 11934V, 11954H, 12148H, 12168V, 12226H, 12480V [B]Astra 2B South[/B] – 10 transponders – pick up 7 – no signal on 3 OK on 12032H, 12188H, 12207V, 12266H, 12284V, 12344H, 12363V No Signal on 12246V, 12304H, 12441V [B]Astra 2B North[/B] – 8 transponders – pick up 0 – no signal on 8 No Signal on 11758H, 12012V, 12070H, 12090V, 12324V, 12382H, 12460H, So, I think my presumption that I was doing quite well was a little premature…. looks like the 1.8m dish is, as some of you have pointed out, a tad too small – off down the market we go again. I thought I was doing well since the decoder was only 50squid. I think the reason why the 2B North transponders are a little quiet in my household must have something to do with the 2B North footprint, but is there any logical reason why I’m missing 3 of the 2B South transponders (both Vert and Horz) and why I’m only picking up 50% of the 2A North b*gg*rs – again mix of both Vert and Horz? Answers on a postcard please. Cheers [/QUOTE]
