Installing Dishes In Spain for 2E Chit-Chat

Found this old girl yesterday, when I replaced her for a brand new triax 80, to receive TV Vlaanderen.
She is the same size as a Fam LH110, but twice the weight, much more wind resilient and for free. Will test her against the LH110 I have on the roof when I can, but already know who will win.

Had a really strange re-alignment today on a dish I installed last year. My friend called to say the Humax had no signal, so being as I fitted the dish, I made it a priority! Got to the house, connected the S1 and went to check Sky News. S1 told me " scrambled ". Had to think about this, then remembered the S1 does that when it sees a signal from a sat on the same frequency it has stored, but from another sat. Switched the S1 to BADR and sure enough could see the channel no problem. Wind had moved the dish from Astra 2 to BADR and was perfectly aligned, never had that before!
 
How are you getting on with the SE?

Got to fit a dish here tomorrow, guy lives in flat 1.6. no chance of line of sight, no permission for roof mount, six floors above, figure I have no chance!
 
I think I´m going mad! Did two re-scans after re-aligning two dishes today. During both scans, both boxes picked up Sky News on a new frequency, not 12207. Have checked KOS and it shows FEC change, but not frequency. Re-scanned HD Mini at my house just now, Sky News on 12207, currently running blind scan.
Anyone else seen anything unusual, or was my opening statement correct!
 
But what freequency did you find Sky News on? it might help!
 
check the lnb settings on the receiver - I was at a house today where the previous renters had messed around with the box, and changed just about everything... and the lnb settings was not 10600, but 10750, so sly news was not found on 12207, but something like 12460...
set them back, and sly news then appears on 12207 just like it should..

119xx, didn´t write it down, didn´t want to look like a prat in front of the client, rather look like a prat in front of the forum! Both were old boxes, one Topfield, very old, the other was a Furg Ariva 102, so that should have been ok!!!
