Glad you like the box. A lot of receiver for the money. Must have been about 300 quid when released.

Yes, seems good, but just checked again on 30 W and think it´s flooding the stb. Will fit attenuator to make sure.
Never had a box that would work on 5.1 dB before, so looking forward to tests " in anger "

Thanks to Pontiend, had a chance to do a quick blindscan on 24.5 W. The new box got both!

Downside, tried to get Waar sport, still being flooded by Waar HD. Will play with that.

Which satellite is Waar Sport on ? 3.1E or 8W ?

Have found the low threshold for Drama, 4.9 dB severe pixel, 5.0 dB some pixels, viewable, but annoying. 5.1 dB ok.
High end, never had a problem with Al Jaz Intl on 30 W, strongest signal I can get. Can get BBC World at 16.2 dB ( think max the box will read ) , Al Jaz Intl 5.4 dB with severe pixels. Flooding the stb methinks, will try an attenuator if the next few days to confirm.
But for now, good box so far!

I was wrong about flooding causing the problem with Al Jaz Intl. The problem is the signal is too strong and causing a cross polarisation image on 12092 H at about 5 dB with the original 12092 V being about 19 dB. The blind scan picked up the H version and overwrote the correct V version. Manual scan of 12092 V has resolved the issue.

Not had any luck with Waar sport on 3.1E as yet, and suspect I wont be able to fix this

Waar Sport is on 3.1 east 12566 V 2750 2/3 S2 (720 x 576) 8PSK MPEG-4
Waar HD also 3.1 east 12572 V 3650 2/3 S2 HD (1920 x 1088) 8PSK MPEG-4

Same program content atm.

William-1, is there a cure for the problem I have, or is it case of " this box ain't big enough for the both of us "?

It would seem that some boxes cannot resolve all transmission Bike TV being a typical example 12.5 West feeds

I know that thread, I made the MAMIL post!
Guess I may have to source an alternative tuner or STB to catch low s/r txp's

Hi Brian.

1.2m and Engel RS4800HD receiver.....just to show the dB difference.....WAAR.

Helped me hold both by making a few'steps' to the west.

Mercadona now.......cannot decide what to spend the €8 on......hard life.

Be safe.
