[QUOTE="tbjay, post: 558645, member: 300197"] I recently installed a petalised prime focus 2.4m dish on my roof terrace along with an Invacom c120 twin & feed horn, did not have any luck at all trying to tune in a Pace ds445nb but did manage to tune in a Silver Crest satellite reciever, no BBC2 but was working OK. Unfortuantly due to local licencing laws had to take it down (was too big up there anyway) I have since moved the setup to a friends villa in the country bolted to a concrete base on the ground, I have setup the dish using a Horizon HDSM satellite meter to Astra 28.2e signal reads about 86% and quality reads 100%. Using a new Pace 2600 and changing the default transponder 12129v and 12441v the later seems to work best and once scanned loads a full epg but when I click on any of the bbc or itv programs I get no no signal detected, I do get a few channels but not many all seem to be the ones available on the South beam. If I revert back to the trusty old Silver Crest receiver I get a lot more channels but still no BBC or ITV 'O'-red. I have read that the Invacom quad is better than than the twin, will it really make that much difference or should I stick with the twin. Your help would be gratefully received.:):) [/QUOTE]
