My first assumption was that it was faulty but when the neighbours decoder is on then there is no problem with reception. I believe also that Sky News is a very strong signal and therefore it would account for only that being recieved when the neighbours unit is off. Do you know if the two...

My sister-in-law has a shared comunal dish, and dual LNB, with a neighbour. It seems that if the neigbour turns off their decoder then my sister-in-laws TV goes off as well, except for Sky News (???). I understand that there is a seperate feed to each decoder from the dual LNB and there is no...

Thanks for the input st1, I will look to getting an HD decoder and have a play; it will be a nice new project even if I don't pull in the channels. (I see you are at the oposite end od Europe are you on fringe reception there?) By the way do you have any knowledge of TECHNOMATE TM-2 HIGH-GAIN...

I have a 1.4 x 1.2 parabolic dish, roof mounted, pointed at 28.2E and Technomate TM-5400 CI+ USB decoder (I think the LNB is probably a generic model but I can not tell what it is because the lables have faded) When I look at the EPG I can see that it shows HD un-scrambled channels but...

slight bit of confusion I think. The NRK channels are being offered on their broadband service (see #22) not their satellite service. It is the UK FTA channels that are being offered in Southern Spain with a relativly small dish. It seems that the quality of this service is reliant on the...

It really sounds bad doesn't it! You pay your €350,00 upfront for a really solid service from 1N (as it is now) and then 1N is moved leaving you with the quality of service from before and they can claim it isn't their fault. I don't see any refund coming for a poor level of service.

thanks for the input; sounds like you have the measure of it. Sounds like you might have had experience of Telitec as well.

As you can see from the email below it isn't the broadband offer I am refering to. I am aware of the details you provided but the question I posed about a new satellite service offering stems from this advert which is clearly for a satellite installation...

Recently my reception is mostly OK even in to the evenings on ITV 2, 3 & 4. The original question was is there a new service/satallite because I had received an email offering UK TV with a 1m dish and, if you already had an installation then they offered a re-positioning service. As I could not...

You have me even more intrigued now. If 2F is specifically aimed at the UK with "more restricted coverage" of Europe then what are Telitec offering and from what satellite?

the etc. is ,as per the email, BBC 1 & 2 ITV 1, 2, 3, & 4 C5 it doesn't list BBC 3 or 4. Would this be the Astra 1N I have seen listed at 28.2?

It is a genuine email as I have my phone and broadband with them. The bit that caught my atention was the offer of a english TV service with only a ONE meter dish

I have recieved an advertising email from a company offering BBC1, BBC2, etc in Southern Spain. When I read the details of the offer they include a 1 meter dish with the package and or a re-alignment service. I use a 1.4 meter dish pointed at Astra and still have some poor reception so it made...

To answer Huevos, the dish is off-set, it is 1.4 x 1.2 parabolic but I can't tell what the LMB is because they were paper labels and they have faded in the sun. With regard to the dish being big enough yes we receive all the channels on the Fortec box, as we did with the VERY old Sky box, but...

I am getting conflicting information about what decoders can be used in Spain. I was under the impression that you can't use FreeSat, that we are well outside the foot print, but I have seen web sites saying you can. My dish is pointed at 28.2 East and I used to use a very old Sky box but am...
