Have seen a similar posting on the Astra 2D site (was it you?) and the response was that yes, the horizontal channels on 2D seem to be wavering.

Has anyone noticed a weaker signal on this transponder the last two evenings ?
You're right Bodge,10.773H is weaker here in Sweden too.SHIT,SHIT,SHIT!!!
The other horisontal transponders are at normal strength.
This will mean I can't watch BBC 4 late in the evenings!!!

Haven't had time to watch any tv at all for a week but when I got home last night I read your post,turned on the reciever and realised you were right.

Strange it's only 10.773H that's weaker but it must be BBC trying to minimise
the "freeviewers" outside the UK.

Where in Sweden are you located?

Don't think steffan-st was trying to upset anyone, just giving an opinion.

Great that you have extra information to add.

Let's hope it all works out - not sure that Sky have anything to do with the problem.

Wouldn't it be Astra the satellite owners?

Any information would be appreciated.

According to information on another site there are some problems with the H 10773 transponder. A friend living close by lost BBC 3 and 4 completely last night so I think there must be something going on somewhere.

I'm sure you are right- but I wonder where you can read about these problems ? Any idea ?
