Scan carried out using technomate 5402HD Blind scan and Vu soloPicked up all the following:11222H11224V11260H11261V11307H11307V11343H11344V11389H11390V11426V11428H11720H11739V11758H11778V11799H11817V11836H11856V11876H11895V11914H11934V11992H11973V12012V12032H12051V12285V12342H12382H12460H12480V12523H12523V12560H12560V12607H12607V12643H12643Valso got a quick look at a 3.7 mtr dish (but not a perfect one as think was originally 1 piece but cut for transport and then joined) and it looks like the 1N PE transponders (assumed) were no go ( barely visible on spectrum) but the 2F transponders had lock and were stable but with not much margin for error (about 8.0 c/n).So it looks like 1N PE is just about impossible in the canaries whilst the UK PSb channels may be possible IF 2E has an identical UK spot to 2F (although the lower frequency stuff was always harder in the past and we could not get the verticals at all on 3-4 metre dish on 2D where the 2F vertical is about 10% up on the horizontal (comparing c4HD with FIVE). I guess time will tell especially when the 2 series PE beams come into use and 2E UKspot. Hopefully will get more subscription channels come July/Aug but think 24/7 of the UK spot will need at least 3.7mtr and possibly larger. Lots of 1.8/1.9 dishes still being installed over here (not by me I add) and expect they may be disappointed especially when the guy next door with a 1.2 (or less?) will get exactly the same channels!!!</blockquote>
