I have waited to reply because I wanted to see how the performance was over a range of time/weather conditions. I have observed that during peak signal time (1145 to 1400 CET approx) there is a fairly healthy rain margin on my 1.1m Triax for SD signals and virtually no margin for the HD...

Maranello, NE Italy. I have now remounted my Triax TD110 1.1m dish with Black Ultra quad. To make alignment more successful I greased the stupid sliding mechanism for elevation adjustment. I spent a few hours out there in the blistering cold on Friday super fine-tuning alignment, including LNB...

Thanks, yes I meant elevation. I do still have doubts about the dish though. Any tips on how I can make sure the LNB is at the best focal point? The arm seems flimsy to me and I'm not convinced I'm getting the best gain out of the dish. Any tips or tricks on LNB focal point? I know this is...

Right, on Saturday I decided to roll my sleves up, get on the roof and see what I could do about 2F. Until now I have had 0%/0% on all 2F TP's. After a couple of hours of messing about with my Triax td110 (1.1m dish) with no success I decided to try an old (ancient) LH 1m dish (which is...

I am glum... Maranello. Northern Italy. 0%/0% on CH5. "No signal" displayed both on Foxsat and Sky HD box. I'm running 120cm Triax solid dish (tweaked for 2B, not 1N) and Black Ultra Quad. Heavy cloud cover at the moment and looks like it's going to snow. Anyway, at the weekend I'l get up on...

in Maranello NE Italy i'm getting both those tp's with>80% quality (I know you asked for uk). Still no sniff of 11023 since breif lock Sunday morning.

weird is one word. I prefer to use gutting. If it transpires, once all this movement has settled down that I am without 2F, then I'll be gutted knowing that I am in the physical footprint but they have electronically (by steering the beam or otherwise) managed to stop me receiving it.

As of 1350 CET situation is now back to 0% 0%. :mad:

Hi all, new here. Drawn here by all the fuss on 2F, hope to stick around after the 2F excitement has died down. Here's my reception report from Maranello, NE Italy for 11023H. Readings taken from Foxsat HD box, 1,2m offset dish & Black Ultra quad. Friday 23/11: 0% Signal 0% Quality...
