Thanks John. It looks like they've switched to a different beam reducing the signal here in the UK. I presume it contains the same channels as before. On the HD Ranger I see a couple of muxes just below 12.360H. Are they full of channels??

Yes, it looks like there's something going on re: beams for example, dx qwer's CS plot shows the three Tp's 12.280 / 12.320 / 12.360 H all very weak and the feed at 12.160 H to be very strong. At my location 17k North of Nottingham the feed at 12.160H was very weak, unlockable, but the three other frequencies were fairly strong and lockable.
I'll re-check it all later .

Thanks lovelyperson. I think you are seeing feeds that we don't see in the UK. When this bird went up I was surprised we could lock 12360H while other muxes were invisible to us in the UK. I have the same display as John with reduced level. Hence no lock.

Yes and like yourself, things you receive on other sats/beams in the U.K. we cannot here.......nature of the hobby but for me encourages us to move the dish and try!

Used the 1.2m to secure the feeds but not able to check at the mo any additions/differences with the 1.8m.

Whatever, generally enjoying the Olympic games...........be safe yourself.

Nearly managed some of your frequencies @loverlyperson here in North Notts UK , this GTX Combo caught them but just not strong enough to lock

Nothing seems to have changed here. 12360H is still fine all the time strong signal.
12160H and others are usually 0 or very low. Currently it's working around 7.0db (early in the morning 5.15 CET)
12280H and 12320H signal is also strong around 12db, but 0 channels found. (Checked yesterday and now)
