    Astra 2E: Western Europe Reports

    In Toulouse, France (31700) 90 cm dish, most channels are OK bur pixelate in the rain, however, (10847) BBC1/2/3 HD and (11023) BBC4/CBeebies HD are unwatchable. Considering buying a 1.25m Gibby....does that seem like a reasonable next step?

    Astra 2F: Iberia & Balearics Discussion

    Many thanks to all of you for your useful suggestions. Tivu makes a good point about 2E....so I think I'll probably just live with it for now (theoretically it's not supposed to rain that much down in this part of the world!) and once the new sat is up there and broadcasting, I'll re-assess. I...

    Astra 2F: Iberia & Balearics Discussion

    Sorry, should have been more clear. I'm in Toulouse to be precise, and I've only noticed it recently with all the heavy rain we've been having. In clear weather, all the 2F transponders are receivable with 80% strength and between 50-60% quality, but I think that means I've pretty much got no...

    Astra 2F: Iberia & Balearics Discussion

    Evening all. You can see my set up in my profile, but I've just started losing the ASTRA 2F transponders in the evening when it rains (even light rain). Signal strength is still good at 70%, but with the rain, the qulity goes right down to 30/40% according to my HUMAX FOXSAT HD box and the...

    Astra 2F: Western Europe Discussion

    I have an Orange LiveBox (192.168.0.1) connected to a Cisco RVS4000 (192.168.1.1) connected to a Belkin Pre-N Wireless Router (in access point mode - 192.168.1.x) which is wirelessly bridged to the DD-WRT router (a Linksys E2000) in repeater bridge mode. You don't want to know why it's so...

    Astra 2F: Western Europe Discussion

    I'm in Toulouse so a bit further north than you and I have a 90cm Visiosat dish I bought from 2Galli 4 years ago with an Inverto Black Ultra Quattro LNB and a 15m cable run. I'm getting consistently S80% Q60% day and night on all channels on a Humax FoxSat HD. I use DD-WRT router as well for VPN...

    In Toulouse SW France, on 90cm visiosat with inverto black quattro. Absolutely nothing on 11023H this evening, but on Friday I was getting 80% signal and 60% quality. Something has changed...

    Astra 1N @ 28E - about to go on air / on air!!

    Update : After a little tweaking of my Freesat box I managed to ask it to manually tune 11127 V 22000 2/3 DVB-S2 8PSK.....and bingo, under SID 21200 I am getting Channel 4 HD at Signal Level 85 and Quality 100. Not entirely sure why my Freesat Box is picking it up loud and clear but my Tevii...

    Astra 1N @ 28E - about to go on air / on air!!

    Thanks for your answer....and it's YES to all of your above questions! Latest news is I can get 11171 MHz tp 22000 2/3 dvb-s QPSK and dvb-s2 NBC-8PSK loud and clear, 81 signal strength and 99 signal quality....so that means that the UK spot beam is pretty weak here in SW France...I can't get it...

    Astra 1N @ 28E - about to go on air / on air!!

    Still trying to pick this up C4HD on 1N in Toulouse with no joy. I have a Tevii S480 and I'm scanning using ProgDVB, but getting zero signal, which is very frustrating as my fellow expats in Costa Blanca are seeing this loud and clear.....ideas?

    Getting nothing in Toulouse SW France on a 90cm dish on 11127 GHZ 22000 MHz V DVBS2 ??? Can't be right if my friends in the Costa Blanca and further south are picking it up:confused:

    Astra 1N @ 28E - about to go on air / on air!!

    All transponders appear to be functioning as before here in South Western France (Toulouse) no tp or frequency changes as far as I can see and reception is as good as it has been in recent days. I'm guessing nothing has changed......yet :confused:
