We could never get BBC HD when it was on 2D, so it looks like nothing has changed with 2F there at least. When 2D was in action, we could only get the Horizontals anyway so we were somewhat limited in reception , even from dishes up to 4.2M. Unfortunately I don't have a meter to test anything...

Nah, nothing here at the moment, and after the loss when 2D moved over to 1N, I'm not holding out much hope to get anything off 2F here. Time will tell though

A rather naive question from me but would a signal coming from 1N have a different stream ID than something coming from 2F? If so, wouldnt this tell from where the signal is coming?

No we dont get 11221H. We only get TPs D1-D12 (11469H (D1) - 11681V (D12) - see above

Actually this question is mainly directed to the Cypriot members cos they know what spikes they see on their meters over here: Until now, we've obviously had our dishes peaked on 2D so as to get the Beeb etc, but this must have been to the expense of some signal from EB1 (28.2 vs 28.5)..am I...

I dunno if Im being optimistic here,but the following has occurred to me: In Cyprus,we only receive Horizontals from 2D. So if 1N is behaving in a similar ish fashion to 2D, it may be possible that we may still get something from 1N when they fire up a TP with Horizontal polarization. Am I...

Thanks alot for your help!

I have seen people using this software to monitor the birds: Crazycat's Crazyscan spectrum analysis c/w its Blindscan Constellation Monitor Can someone please tell me: 1. If this software is specific for a certain PC card, or would my USB DVB tuning card (Hauppauge) plugged into my laptop...

I have seen many people using this software: Crazycat's Crazyscan spectrum analysis c/w its Blindscan Constellation Monitor Can someone please advise whether 1. you need a specific card for this software, or would my USB DVB-S receiver (Hauppauge) would work with my laptop 2. If so, where...

Yep, its prime focus. I dunno if its a coincidence but it seems to have made a difference too....no pixellation at all last night on BBC. Even ITV from 10832 was good practically all night except for a few minutes of break up. I need to see if last night was a one off, otherwise for me it...

Good morning guys, I wanted to post some information about Famaval dishes which I hope may be useful to others. Since we stared to have a few 2D reception issues in Cyprus, I decided to carefully check my dish in order to squeeze every last dB out of it. According to the literature and posts...

I thought my PACE DS430N was on its way out cos for the last couple of weeks its also been switching to standby despite the function being switched off. At least I know Im not alone now!

Hi, Just a quick question. In Cyprus, we can get some of the Tps from Eb1 (D1-12 only). I noticed something a bit strange today - I can still receive everything ok except channels on D2S (11488.00 V) which I could receive perfectly well before. There isnt much on there, but occationally I...

Hiya, I get the best ITV1 from 12402V here in Limassol. I cant understand why you cannot get it too, the ITV is completely trouble free 24/7. Is the scew of your LNB ok...i had some problems with 12402V initially, but it was because the scew wasnt exactly right. After a tweek, it has proved...

HIya, I got mine from Future Sat in Limassol T Sorry, dont have an email or url for them
