A Happy Ending: Got an installer up: Paul Anderson, who can be found at www.skydigital.es. It seems both dish and LNB are pretty cheap, so it took about half an hour of Paul tweaking and adjusting the alignment of the dish and LNB. Basically, it wasn't aligned correctly enough for the...

Thanks rsdw. I contacted some installers nearer here over the weekend. Both say they have installed many in the Seville area, that the reception in this area is excellent. They say that with my set-up the dish size is fine, and that I should be able to get the lot. It's probably a poor LNB...

I unplugged the cordless and no joy.... Living down here is great. However getting things sorted isn't: telephone, internet...even water!! But anyway, we digress. The telly's the most important anyway! (Well, maybe not as much as water). :)

Having another look around. It's definitely the north beams that are the problem. 2A North & 2B north - can't get any of those channels. I think it's something to do with my setup. Installers on the south coast said with a 1.35cm dish I would be able to get the lot. Looks like it's shell out...

Hi again Tivu, Cable is fine. Cordless phone other end of house. No internet connection at all (that's another story!). So all those ruled out....

Aha! Sorry for my lack of knowledge Huevos... :) Default Transponder is: 10.774 H / 22.0 / 5-6. The only channels I can't get are the ones emitting from the transponder I mentioned in my first post. Any suggestions? The LNB? Thanks for the help.

Hi Tivu, I can get almost every channel - thankfully. But can't get Sky Sports Extra (Spanish footy and Champions League multi-match is on there, so I miss that one), Sky Sports News, Eurosport UK 2 amongst others. All those channels are on the same transponder I mention above. Signal...

One small thing I'd add is that the signal is going to be stronger round here than say Calpe guys, due to the coldspot there (Barcelona is bathed in a glorious 80cm-dish hotspot which I sorely miss!). All south coast installers say with a 1.35 dish I should be able to get the lot... I'm going...

Hi to all, First of all thanks for the replies people. It really is appreciated and if it wasn't for forums like this, then I wouldn't have even got this far! So, I suppose that if the signal strength is off the scale, that's because it is reading the default transponder very well, but...

Hi to all and first of all thanks for a great forum. It makes such a difference for novices like me... I moved to just outside Seville from Barcelona two months ago. I brought down with my my Pace Sky+HD box from there, where I'd had Sky without any problems for ten years, registered at my...
