Here at Reggio Emilia we have BBC ITV ect back on our telly-s

it keeps on

That's good news !

Thanks for the news, will check it out tonight. What size dish do you have?

Hi Duffer...i had a 1 metre dish ...today changed to 1,20 and also changed the illuminator.
I am praying it keeps on...my satellite installer says they have open the area a little for the reception of Astra...time will tell, but in the meantime i keep my fingers crossed !!

OK. You're in a good area anyway for reception without the need to get a huge dish. I think 1.2 will be very good for you. I didn't get a chance to check the channels but will do so today at lunchtime and later tonight.
Thanks for the heads up.

No joy for me, still the same result, i.e. some signal during the day, nothing in the morning or evenings.

what numbers are being used on set up?

I am trying via my Sky UK decoder. Although I don't get reception when I want to watch the BBC I have noticed improved reception of the terrestrial channels. They come on at unusual hours. BBC3 and BBC4 came on at midnight for a couple of hours and ITV is on during the morning until mid-afternoon.

Dave HD and Gold HD are not available but the standard def versions are on 24/7.
