I would be delighted to, especially if they were positive!! My telecommunications guy said he was picking up 0% signal from his house but I cannot give you anymore information than that, and I realise that is not sufficient for you!! . I assume when he says 0% signal he means with the equipment...

Thanks, working fine (unfortunately not like my Channel 5 reception!!)

Can I be given PM permission please?

Woborny, Any chance of somehow getting in touch with your Zaragoza contact? I am in Zaragoza too... Thanks Jonty

Thanks guys....

Timo, Regarding the lobe you are not suggesting that the shaded areas will not be able to get reception, just that one will need to get better and bigger equipment? Thanks very much, Jonty

Dear all, Thanks for all the info. Here´s hoping. I will avidly await your calculations regarding dish sizes etc etc. I am "happy" to get the best quality because this is an investment that will last years and her indoors will not be too happy with a 5m dish in our garden, as we only have a...

Andrew, You mean lose all channels with my current set up, don´t you? The solution will be to get a bigger dish, I am told...????? Hughes, Thanks for that. I will check that out. But whether they provide the service in Aragon is another matter...good to have as a pLan B or C though!! Thanks...

Hughes, Thanks for your comments. Yes, I had thought of that. For the last 2 years I have had absolutely no problem with any channels, even in the evenings, except with a bit of rain and wind. That would be something worth trying, although I would prefer having a permanent solution rather than...

Timo, Thanks for that. But I only have had ITV1 HD on Freesat. To be honest regional variation channels don´t bother me, as long as I can get at least one version of the main BBC, ITV etc etc channels I don´t mind. It is incredible that now I have got used to watching some good series on...

Sorry, I meant to say: Someone said that maybe SKY will NOT decide to put their channels in the UK spot beam

Thanks very much!!! I just hope that it will work even if I have to get a 2,4m dish!!! I think I can just about fit a 1,8m in the same place, but 2,4m would have to have a special installation or be put in the garden!!! The worst case scenario would be the impossibility to have any channels...

Analogue, Thanks....but could my friend check what signal is coming through for the Channel 5 channels? Thanks Jonty

Thanks, I thought the change over for BBC and ITV was scheduled for sometime between Feb and May next year? You are saying that it might be before Christmas? I understood they had to put another new satellite up. But can my friend with his electronics gadgets check what signal strength is...

Thanks everyone. I will answer your comments: I have to measure the dish..as it is a beautiful day today, that is one job!! I think it is 1,2. Set up correctly? I have no idea, I think so. They were Spanish guys who had never installed an English system before, but they seemed to know what they...
