[QUOTE="Gary D, post: 828312, member: 393407"] First time back in France after the channels shift to 2F and I was looking forward to checking ITV and Channel 5 reception straight away. First thing I noticed when I arrived was my dish pointing at the ground. The only cause I can think of is a big bird of prey deciding to use the LNB arm as a perch! Now that the dish is fixed again and carefully aimed, I can report that 40km east of Toulouse, near Castres, I can receive all the 2F channels available to my Pace 2600 (Sky - sorry) box with no problem on my cheapo 80cm Brico dish. The cable run isn't particularly long, but I am using a diplexer system to run the TNT (French Freeview) signal and the satellite signal down a single cable, so there will be some attenuation, but not sure how much. Also, no problem with the Sky EPG so far... [/QUOTE]
