Nice one!

I'm getting it at 8db on my 1.8m Raven but im in Scotland, so sort of impressed you got it on a 1.2, Though I think the lock for a 3/5 feed is about 5-6db?

VERY VERY fine margins! I now want a 1.3, or 1.4 :)
weather is VERY clear and fine tonight - in my favour, - the slightest rain and this signal would go for sure.


my octagon sf8008 is breaking up slightly - reading 5.5-6.0 db - i wonder if thats because my vbox is taking connection before sending to octagon (i.e one break in connection) - my T5402 M4 which is second LNB connection straight through - no breakup THUS far, but unfair to compare tuners, cant be arsed to swap cables.

Yeh it'll be the vbox for sure, I seem to recall measuring a 1 to 1.5db loss through mine vs not.

Slight breakup here on CM 1.2m in the north east, though that's with Eutelsat skew offset so there should be a bit more to come.

The dogs feed scans in but only a tickle of lock every few seconds.

@John did your feed signal survive the show? or did it degrade and fade out?

Don't know chap, only watched the feed for a short while waiting for Ant to keel over or reach for a drink - he looked as rough as a badgers on the 'off air' segments, trust me i'm a doctor . . . . . . . not
