Hi Likvid, I gave up..:( We tried the possible and the impossible here in Sicily; nothing at all, not even a small signal from Astra 2D. I am all confused now: I do not know if the dish is too small, if it doesnt work properly, if my LNB is not working.. I do not know anything anymore. I called...

Hi Guys, today I bought an angle finder and I surpriselly noticed that the elevation is 42,5° instead of 44,15° as my location requests. Do you think that this difference can be the cause of my unuseful research of Astra 2D? What amount of signal loss can provoke this difference of almost 2...

What does it happen if we buy a HD receiver but we use it on a NOT HD Television? Will the picture be as good as is it now? I am asking this because if BBC is going to show the World cup on Astra 2A, we will have to buy a HD receiver which will cost quite a good money; if we have to buy an HD...

It will be fta but with Sky HD receiver. I think this means that we will have to buy a Sky HD receiver to be able to watch BBC HD. I dont think it is necessary to subscribe to Sky HD service as well. Ciao Tony

Hi Guys, I am back. Winter is almost over here and I am starting again to look for the bloody Astra 2D. Today I noticed how important is to skew the LNB but when I look for the best reception of the main transborder 11778 V, i noticed that i loose all the channels which are on 28.5°, i.e...

Hi Dave, nothing yet. I checked the dish once more but it seems not distorted. It is getting more and more difficult as I am alone now. All the technicians I called were not able to do any improvements. I did a few more try but no improvements. I am still convinced it is a problem of rightly...

Hi Guys, I am back. It has been 18 months since I bought my Patriot Az/El 3.8 mts prime focus dish and still the bloody dish is working not better then my other 1.5 mts offset dish. I have two Invacom LNbs 0.3db C120 , a twin and a quad; My feedhorns are the ADL - KU 850 and ADL - KU 855 both...

Hi Likvid, unfortunally I didnt get any answer back from Patriot. Im waiting now for Old Satellite who promissed me to send over some papers which could help me to reassembly my dish. Thats all for now unfortunally Ciao for now Tony

DAve, I pick the BBC interactive channels with my Nokia 9800. Ciao for now Tony

Likvid, even if i wanted to re-assemble the dish again. How would i know that it will be fine? To me the dish seems quite smooth but who knows? Im really frustrated now Ciao for now Tony

Hi Dave, Can you post your picture again? It seems that I cant open it. REgarding the feedhorn, this is the one I received from Patriot. They say it should work. If I wanted to get your feedhorn and your support where could I find them? To answer to someone else who asked if I was receiving...

Hi Trash, here are more photos about my dish. Thanks Tony

Hi Trash, here are the photos you requested. I hope they can help us to sort out the problem I have. Thanks for your help. Ciao Tony

I really dont know what else I can do, We tried everything. It seems that my dish settings have all the strangest misteries..:). For instance, when the technician stepped into the centre of the dish, only on certain point of the petals we could get the signal, he just walked very slowly to find...

Hi Likvid, I dont have my digital camera at the moment but the dish I have is like the one in the picture. I would appreciate your help regarding the Aussie guy, I am really frustrated now. I have been working on this bloody dish for over 18 months now. Thanks everybody for your help. Ciao Tony
