Hi Everyone location - Fuente el Saz / Prado Norte (North of Madrid, 20km or so) i decided to wait a few days before posting my findings - BBC HD 1, 2 etc (and SD variants), ITV HD (and SD variants), are poor in daytime, but around 7.30pm signal is around 65%, and stable with no pixelation...

@ davidcmadrid FYI / Records ('cos you sound interested in this sort of stuff) a new neighbour of mine (fellow brit from Newcastle, taking the toll of brits to 3 out of 20 - like eldorado) has moved into our urbanizacion, and i noticed he was putting his dish up (corner house). he has a...

Astra 2F Report from Madrid (30km North east of Centre) 1.25 Gibertini (finally got it up, much to wife's delight :) 10964H Q 56% S 75% 10994H Q 60% S 80% 11024H Q 47% S 57% 11053H Q 62% S 75% 11127V Q 58% S 70% all perfectly watchable. not had chance to test in rain or heavy cloud yet...

i am in fuente el saz so just a bit south west from you. my 60cm (receiving all 1N) is crap for the 2F footprint, but a neighbour in the same urbanizacion has a 1.0m Televes DIY job, and he is OK for C4, C5 & ITV etc. he is not using an HD Receiver, so cannot comment on the BBC HD transponder...

i am 30km north of Madrid (Torrelaguna) and my 1N signal is great on a 60cm - not a sniff on the 2F tests for the BBC channels. not had chance to try my 1.25 (recently moved house) - but i am aiming to do it if i can loose the wife for a day

can somebody check this? 12139 V 27500 2/3 - seems to be something here (no channel..) strong signal here in Madrid (80%), could it be PE beam testing?

100% signal confirmed @ jodrell bank.... only joking on a serious note Madrid - on my 60cm dish 11023 - 0% Signal, or zip, nada 10847 - 55% Signal as usual (perfectly watchable unless raining) as these are the BBC Frequencies, and i have close to 90% for ITV & C5 etc, will the same pattern...

In Madrid, i am still receiving the same if not better than last night - even slightly better signal on BBC 1 HD and Cbeebies (my daughters will be happy) i wonder if all the hype about loss of spot beam was a ploy by the installers to have as many new dishes fitted - as they knew after 2F lit...

Waiting for 2F is like being a chelsea manager.... you know what is coming, just a question of when....

i may pull a sicky and go home early.... squeeky bum time.

it can't be migrated until next week - i need to have ITV4 for the liverpool game on Thursday......
