[QUOTE="pjgregory, post: 600549, member: 288654"] Hi Incold You are about 60km NNE of me so should have similar reception conditions. With my set up, heavy rain does not seem to cause a problem, although I did loose most of my channels when the dish filled up with snow during the winter. Normally, I am never awake at 1am to see if the TV is working so I cannot say if I have similar issues. Your main problems could be using a mesh rather than solid dish, 3.4m rather than 3.7m and an unspecified LNB (I have the recomened Invacom Quad and adjustable feedhorn). I have about 60m of cable, so your 25m should not be a problem. I don't know your receiver either, but I have now switched to the Humax FoxSat HD PVR receiver. As far as I can tell, it perfoms just as well as my former Pace box. Over Easter I watched (and recorded) Wallace and Gromit in HD from BBC HD in Tuscany! Unless you really want to watch TV during the night, I think you should just be pleased with what you have achieved. To get Astra 2D at all where we are is a real challenge. Enjoy! PJG [/QUOTE]
