Ok thanks guys,
I think Rolf is going to end up being correct as I've had the cards sat in their homes all day and no joy as yet.
I'am going to give it until tomorrow morning then make an effort to contact the seller.
Yes it was fairly pricey but they have great EPL coverage.
I will update the...
Dear all,
Just a quick question on getting ASTRA satellite from the Philippines so we can watch sky with a free sat card while over there.
1.) Is it possible?
2.) Dish size?
3.) Is there a web site that will help with the alignment?
Many thanks

Well done Rolfw, another problem solved. You are a credit to this community.
The VH and VL were simply the wrong way around, problem solved with minimal effort.
Thank you.
For information, the dish was picking up channels from an astra bird and eurobird.
It looks like an 80cm dish with a ghost killer aerial above, the cable by the looks of it is CT quality. The test I described above was taken at the furthest away point from the headend, which leaves me thinking the cable is sound.

Don't waste your money on a DAT45 or 75 pal.
If you have the option to chimney mount the aerial and money is tight then try a RX20WB by antiference.
Make sure you choose a mast that will give you good line of sight (make sure your aerial is higher than the neighbours by at least 2ft) and use...
unless it is an amplified splitter you will compromise the signal strength.
My way - no extra parts to buy just requires a little graft and no compromise on signal.
