Yes. That’s me!

Very interesting setup! I need to do something similar!

Could you show some pictures of your setup and explain how you did it? I would like to do the same with my 3.1m antenna but I don't really know how to do it. Thanks

Don't remember anymore who was taking photos of 2E last year.... That was a fantastic achievement! Any one up for that now with 2G?

Which lnb and feedhorn are you using? I have the same antenna and I found out that the Incacom lnb and feedhorn are giving me the best results (beating by far the Inverto Black Pro either with Iberosat or Invacom feedhorn).

My parents only have ADSL. I get a steady steaming speed of about 750kbps. It's enough for SD quality.

If you have a good internet connection you can use a slingbox and a slingcatcher. The latest is no longer manufactured but you can still buy it on eBay. This as been a good solution for me. My parents live 500km away in the north of the country and they can receive 2E and 2F spot beam easily.

I wonder to want extent this is related with the 2E/2F signal increase we have experienced over here in the past 2 weeks... I guess this is some optimisation work before the Christmas freeze about to come...

Depends where you are in Portugal. In the north 1.2m is enough for 24/7 reception all year. The signal dies abruptly in the center of the country. In Lisbon so far we were on a deep null. I'm getting some signal now. But people in the close vicinity with 2.2m cab't even get a lock.

Something must have changed up there. I never had a lock before in Lisbon and now I'm getting 2E uk beam. And this morning I could get a picture on channel 5 txponder on 2F for some time...

Here is the picture of mine. Sometime next week I will give it try and compare with my current Invacom.

Many thanks! I hope it's a "good" revision!

What a pity... So sorry for that... I hope you can find a new one....

I've ordered an inverto c120 pro lnb On the inverto web site the picture shows a black label. But the one I've got has a red label. The reference in the label is IDLB-QUDFO2-OOPRO-OPP. This matches the reference on interto web site. But how can I be sure to be a real one? Thanks!

One week after situation remains stable. C/N varies according to the transponder. The lower ones are better with C/N around 7dB. BBCs are around 6.5dB but sometimes drop to 5.5dB (namely every day after 22h30). At this point they are no longer watchable. I'm thinking about replacing by Invacom...
