hi bob,That is great news that you are still getting use from the magicsat 2002a. Afraid I dismantled my system as It was getting too fiddly altering settings when travelling down through france and spain. I've also done tours of norway and sweden so no hope of getting anything up there. I get...

Hi bob, All seems to ok now in as far as I can get channel 5 including hd and some others that I got a bit further south.It has been a bit cloudy but a clear sky today. I did wonder about putting all horizontal polarization in but it seems to work.I won't bother fiddling with it anymore as I,m...

Morning all from sunny spain. Now in Benicassim north of valencia and had to retune again. This time I chose the first 4 frequencies on 2g europe and voila . Can anyone explain why I could get channel 5 and some other channels,challenge tru movies etc down in javea but only Sky news and some uk...

Yes I was thinking along the same lines :)

As a relative newcomer to this system,perhaps I got lucky,well I certainly got lucky in choosing frequencies that worked last time.I notice now that my last choice that worked in the uk are on the europe footprint so perhaps they are not a strong enough signal here in the uk but may work further...

All changed today when I did a test prior to my trip down through europe later in August.I couldn't get the system to lock on. My first attempt at putting in frequencies was a success.Looking back through the posts I chose footprint 2E UK ,SR-FEC 27500/06 and adjusted the first4 criteria as...

Great news Rvator and HelenH.I can confirm mine is still working OK. I have been taking the camper down to Plymouth as I,m now the owner of a boat and have been doing some antifouling and further maintenance.All back in the water now. While there the dish locked on fine using the same settings...

Great

Well my next planned trip abroad is up through Sweden and lap land next year ,hoping for the best on that one

Nice one,thanks for that.I've gone back to the ones that worked for me back in the uk also. The frequencies I put in last for spain weren't locking on just a bit further up the road at benicarlo so never used it till we got back to blighty as we were only there overnight on the way back home.

Right ,where do I start.To each and everyone using the magicsat here is my latest news. Just spaen a day I'll never get back reconfiguring the settings once again. All was well travelling through France and down to spain as far as Tarragona.I lost bbc itv etc but still got the sky package.Moved...

The tide is in so not too bad :-biglaugh

hopefully the last update for a while.I,ve just driven to weston s mare sea front and it locked onto 28.2 pretty quickly. Receiving all tv stations. Pete

After driving to a different location I could not get the dish to lock on to 28.2.Driving back home it would again go onto it ? I,ve now added two more settings and after clearing data with the green 12v cable as described previously it still locks onto 28.2 straight away my settings are 1...

well finally with help from @Rvator and previous info from @Analoguesat referring to SR-FEC @Rvator came up with 4 frequencies using SR-FEC of 27500 5/6. Criteria: Frequency: Pol: Signal: Mode: 1. 12188 H Y Digital 2. 11934 V Y Digital 3. 12148 H Y Digital 4. 12207 V Y Digital As he couldn't get...
