Have you tried different regionals? BBC Norther Ireland is our strongest.

Something similar to last year ? > 28e levels in south france
In Norway right now, e,f,g uk are very good, on dish size (120cm) that some years ago had big problems with evening reception.
As mentionned in earlier post, am suspecting there may be periods with 'northbound' beam\lobe drift.

Thank you for reports,it seems it s just seasonal...
it just changed so quickly from excellent to "sd or nothing"...
outages do not last for three whole evenings...
SD is very solid,does not vary much hopefully
And no sand in sight,we even enjoy high pressure which should help!
