Default Completely lost BBC now!

Us, together with expats in the local area have lost BBC pretty much completely now, along with everything apart from Sky News and maybe some music channels. We have an 80cm dish, and understand the changes were iminent. Anyone had this, and if so any joy in resolving the problem. We are in the Rhone Alpes. We have a digibox, but the same old problem trying to put our old postcode in

I agree with the above - we are in Toulouse and only get it intermittently despite a 1m dish , improved LNB and all fingers crossed!

Ours has been patchy last couple of days. Any cloud coverage and it's not great. But I did retune, although I have lost a lot of bbc, bbc NI often works.

I'm going to get a bigger dish though

Well stick with it. We are in the Rhone Alpes and have an 80cm dish. We retuned after tweaking the dish and it is better than ever. Our friends have problems with theirs too. I think wind was the problem

Have you considered getting your TV by internet? I either use www.filmon.com or use an I.P. address changer to fool the English TV web pages that I am still in UK. Works for me.
