[QUOTE="milestone 11, post: 832766, member: 330058"] Thanks Timo. The cynic in me comes to no other conclusion than Sky's changes were calculated at best. What is it that they are trying to achieve I wonder. Is it just some equally cynical ploy to weed out the Canary dwelling subscribers because there is a financial implication to them, Sky, at some later date. The footprint map on the SES site suggests that the Canaries will have reception on a 1.2m dish from 2F, the fact that I am getting nothing at all of the channels that have recently moved, leads me to believe that the move has not been to 2F but elsewhere, irrespective of what SES have said on their facebook page. From previous experience, whether it be my location or the quality of the LNB, many people have been surprised at the quality of reception we were getting whilst others were seeing nothing. Prior to the moves, we were getting 18 basic sports channels, plus a few insignificant others. Of the principal 16 channels which I list below, 11 have been lost. Marked in red are those that are gone,which were all available, green are still, for the moment, operational.
