All on 16E, 11554 V SR 30,000 FEC 7/8 (Not possible on a Sky box).

My Signal is 91% and Quality 49% during present rain. 80cm Lidl dish on Motor.

Enjoy while it lasts.
AFAIK BBC Prime, HBO, Nat Geo, Discovery are never FTA except short periods anywhere

watty

All gone this morning, also some of the regular stuff is gone. Perhaps a beam or transponder change?

Still getting Alsat (clear) and Prima Test (blank screen) marked FTA but not much else.

watty

All back now. I think my 80cm dish isn't quite big enough for low FEC of 7/8

watty

Anybody know where online schedule for HBO, viasat Explorer, History, Cinemania etc is for this satellite? I can only find US schedules

Still there tonight and good signal.

Watty
I'd steer clear of TV1000

It's late night films are very naughty... very very naughty
