Jim, I've recently upgraded and just used my old analogue dish with new quad lnb (although I renewed all the cabling). Had to realign my dish to 28.2E and am using a Humax foxsat hd receiver (not HDR :mad:). Found this forum great for advice, also this link was good if you don't have a compass...

Thanks guys for all the help and advice. Have now managed to successfully align my dish to 28.2E and tuned in all the freesat channels and all the others. Had the usual issue with postcodes but found when properly aligned those disappeared. Amazing number of satellites out there, has rekindled...

Channels before moving included TV Polonia, CNN, Eurosport, MDR, RTL (various including RTL Austria) probably approaching 100 channels, nearly all German. When I moved the dish eastwards (only a couple of cm) I picked up NOORD and OOST amongst about a dozen others, all appeared to be Dutch. I...

Hi, question(s) from a newbie! I have an old 80cm dish with twin analogue lnb's mounted on the side of my house. The dish was used years ago for Sky, and using an offset arm, various other satellites. The system I had was analogue and eventually after various upgrades I cancelled my Sky subs...
