About what we would expect from Portugal's worst trumpet-blowing tat rag http://theportugalnews.com/news/comment-bbc-why-dont-you-tell-us-if-we-are-going-to-be-cut-off/27332 http://www.expatfocus.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=35816/postdays=0/postorder=asc/start=49/ .

Thxs. It might work at our shack in darkest Portugal. The annoying bit is Portugal Telecomm's wireless arm TMN offered us their 4G package 8 months ago when it launched with a better deal than now:( We didn't want/need it then. GRRRR. Only rejected it as it's a two-year contract & we travel half...

Try this one: http://algarvedailynews.com/news/8306-freeview-via-satellite-to-end No longer will I get: "Have you got Sky?" - Answer: "No, I've got satellite". Now it will be: "So you can't get Sky anymore". - Ans: "I never did have or want it on principle", ---- After deep thought: "But you've...

Thxs guys. Oh well, at least I can listen to 'Clue' & the News Quiz online on my rural 2G EDGE wireless connection. Such technology!

Hi Guys. Hope I'm in the right place. I just got wind of this 2F saga. I'll be back in Portugal next May, perfectly timed to lose everything. Big Q: Will BBC radio end up on the new narrow beam also? I know there is no good reason why it should as it isn't a part of the licence(?), but it...

Never found they make much difference. Best I had was from Lidl about 5 yrs ago which outperformed a 'limited edition, silver plated, ultra low-dongle factor' Inverto. A pity it failed. Best at moment is an old Japanese Alps bullet, except when it rains. Even with my patent fringe area plastic...

Strange world. We are watching 'Eggheads' on BBC2 Scotland in torrential rain without a glitch (almost) (lnb with bespoke plastic bottle cover). I even watched the cricket on ITV4 last week, & ITV4 evening has not been possible for some months. Thxs guys, but throwing money at the problem is...

Thxs Huevos, just tried it & sorry to say, no change.

Hmm, why don't 10817 & 10775 show on Lyngsat's 28.2 listings? At least when I look they don't.

Well found sat man, thxs! -- you have outdone Google. All we need now is iceman's 'solution' :)

ARGH!!! - Please god Noooooooo. The loss of UK tv will be such a small sacrifice

So us non licence fee paying reprobates will soon be left with CBS Action only? - I'm so pleased Amazon stuck £20 on the Foxsat HDR recently & I reacted in my usual (sod 'em) way. Oh well, there is always Max Keiser twice a week on Russia Today .......... & a good book; & radio 3; & Swiss Jazz...

Outrageous! - This is the BBC that is being interfered with, can I sue?

I do sympathise with your plight CH, but the snow has not got as far as SW Portugal.........but then neither it seems has 10773H :(

I return from holiday to my Algarve shack to no BBC1 England, no BBC2 England & no Five. First there was signal strength but a blank screen, now there is no signal strength. So I check Lyngsat for a change of 'venue'....zilch. Then I look on the forums, no mention. Everything else seems OK at my...
