    Help for non techies re: lost 5,5usa,5*, 4HD Foretecstar Passion HD in France

    Thanks for that Paul, but I am limited with what I can have as I have an apartment in a co-prop. Just a thought; would I be able to get Sky with the dish I have? I have friends in Spain (Alicante) and they have no problem with their service on Sky .

    Help for non techies re: lost 5,5usa,5*, 4HD Foretecstar Passion HD in France

    Hello, just got back from the UK, and have lost all BBC channels. The 5 bouquet are long time gone. Last night I was able to watch ITV3, but now today, almost everything has vanished; I seem to be left with a choice of the Food Channel or Sky News :-( I guess this is the end of Freesat as we...

    Thanks John. I have been away for 6 weeks and was wondering what had been happening. It's another one of those wait and see moments:-)

    Hi John, it sounds as though you are in the southwest of France, whereas I am in the southeast, or at least i will be in another week!. Can you tell me what has happened with Freesat up to the present? Still receiving channels, or have they vanished as advised with Astra 2E coming online (or has...

    re the post of womble76. As a non techie could I please ask what it entails " moving it to 2d from 2b" and why that would improve quality? I thought that Freesat had moved from 2d to 1n quite a while ago. Mmm, confused to say the least

    I did manage to get back most of the channels. As I said, we were having localised very bad weather when I lost everything. Now, it remains that I have lost the 5 bouquet and a few others, which I believe have also moved to Astra 2F . I will however replace the LNB as suggested as our summers...

    Astra 2F: European Beam Transfers Starting?

    Haute-Savoie is a fair bit further north than the Med, but I will try again tomorrow owing to the very heavy cloud and rain we have had. Just re-scanned and getting the same as before, ie lost all BBC ITV 5 etc. and left only with those mentioned before.

    Astra 2F: European Beam Transfers Starting?

    Hello, my location is Sainte Maxime, Var France. Today I have lost most channels on Freesat leaving me only with Skynews, CBS, and the Food Network. At first I thought it was the weather as we have heavy cloud and rain, but I guess not. I will re-scan tomorrow and see what I have been left with...

    Thanks to everyone for the advice. I guess it is a question of wait and see for the moment.

    thank you Timo, but this has only started happening over the last 4 days, and the parabole has not moved. Previous to this, I have not had any problem with reception. I guess I will wait and see what other changes with channels are going to be made, then take whatever action required to resolve...

    Help for non techies re: lost 5,5usa,5*, 4HD Foretecstar Passion HD in France

    Thank you Paul R for this info. I had no problem before I went to Italy a couple of weeks ago. Even when I got back last weekend all was ok. It was maybe 4 nights ago I lost the channel 5 bouquet on an evening, but mornings are fine. We have had good sunny weather for a few days, but still lost...

    ok thanks for that. Will be going to the UK for a month or so, so I guess I will just have to try and sort it out when I get back. Maybe they will have got all their changes done by then and we will know what is possible, otherwise it's back to Froggievision!

    Help for non techies re: lost 5,5usa,5*, 4HD Foretecstar Passion HD in France

    thank you for the speedy reply, however I am still rather confused. I am able to view the 5 channels at this very moment on 10964 h 22000, but they will disappear getting towards evening time. If I had a larger dish, and did a rescan, would the channels on 2F automatically appear, or would I...

    Help for non techies re: lost 5,5usa,5*, 4HD Foretecstar Passion HD in France

    Hello, I read about the migration of the above channels from Astra 2D to 2F My question is, how are we able to re-set our boxes with the information required. Sorry if I have missed something, but I do not see a link to how this may be achieved. As for the above channels, I am watching at the...

    Fortecstar Passion and Freesat: lost BBC HD and BBC1 HD

    Brian,thank you for your reply. I would point out that I did not spend vast amounts of time with various versions of SetEdit. The problem of the lost HD flag was due to the fact that the original version No1 which I had, did not have the ability to flag HG which I had not realised, the version...
