A little report about receiving British TV near the second null in Midsweden (near Falun). I thought I would write down my experiences and mistakes to help others and prevent unnecessary expenditures. I finally admitted that my Gibertiny 150 wasn’t quite up to the job in receiving SKY and BBC...

Sorry pressed the wrong button. Glad it improved for you.

Exactly what I was looking for thank you to both of you. Out to the stepladder ;-)

I am a the fringe reception in Midsweden (Falun is the closest city). With a CM 1,8 alignment is going to be a little bit of compromise between the position of 2E, 2F and 2G. After doing some work with a new LNB I think I have moved the dish slightly. Before starting the realignment I was...

Thanks for a quick reply. We will just have to see how it works out. I just ordered a Freeview box as a supplement to our Sky box. 11426 V 5/6 is one off the only two transponders that is difficult to get here in Dalarna in Midsweden. With the investment in a ChannelMaster 1,8 all other trsp are...

Does anybody know which transponder is caring Freesat's epg?

Thank you for a quick reply! The problem is that in my SD account setting at the option for upgrading is: "Please call 0800 151 2747" I like to keep the direct telephone contact with Sky to a minimum so Sky do not find out that the box isn't situated in London with my brother in law (also a Sky...

I'm living in Sweden and have now invested in a Raven (CM) 1,8 dish and am finally able to get Astra 2G and therefor the BBC HD channels. Currently I'm using the Pace 2600 c1 that have served me very well. I'm now thinking of getting a used Sky+ HD box. How can I upgrade my subscription to cover...

How many dB does "time of year"account for? I live in Sweden some 190 km WNW of Stockholm (close to Borlänge). I had almost given of the hope of getting good reception with my 150 Gibertini. I was getting fair reception of v trsp on the UK spotbeam of 2E and the europa beam of 2G. Other channels...

I think I'm finally admitting defeat and will do an upgrade fom my 150 Gibertiny. The 180 ChannelMaster will with a high likelihood be enough to get the UK spot beam. My wife is addicted to Eurosport that have disapeared after the move to 2F's Europabeam. Does anybody in Dalarna have any...

Could I ask you good folks for a little bit of advice? I live in Dalarna in Central Sweden. In the last 8 years I have had exellent reception of all channels on 28.2 E. After Astra 2E have gone into service I'm struggeling to get good reception of BBC. I get reception part of the day on...

Reception in Dalarna BBC1 Yorkshire seems now to have migrated to 2E. Reception is a tiny bit weaker as 2F here some 20 km souteast of Falun with a signal quality of 20-30%. My current setup is a Gibertini 150, Inverto Black Ultra and a Pace 2600. The result is therefor a slightly pixelating...

I live close to Borlänge (190 km WNW of Stockholm). My setup is Gibertini 150 with a 0,2 MTI High Line and a Pace 2600C1. I can get a pixelated picture on channel 5, in good conditions the picture is stable. I think though there is room for finetuning. After my previous LNB was struck by...

I live near Borlänge 190 km NW of Stockholm. On 1N I can now get the ITV's on 11053 H with 80% signalquality with my Pace 2600 C1 and a 150cm Gibertini. This is significantly better than 2D where I have around 40% signalquality.
