[QUOTE="Gary D, post: 834606, member: 393407"] Well, that's my theory blown out of the water! I have a Pace 2600 at my place 40km east of Toulouse and that seems to be working fine with all the available channels on 2F. I was forced to do a hit-and-miss re-aiming of the dish after a big bird had landed on the arm of the dish causing the whole thing to be aimed at the ground. As I didn't have the signal meter with me, I just tried varying the elevation of the dish until I heard sound coming from the TV. I don't know how, but purely by chance the signal quality ended up being far better than anything I was able to get previously using the signal meter to aim the dish. So I think the moral of my story is that the dish aim is unbelievably critical at the fringes, and somethimes you just need to get lucky when looking for that perfect sweet spot. I just hope that bird stays away, because I don't think I'd managed to get that perfect aim again. By the way, if you can't get hold of a Pace 2600, I think the Pace 430 is the next best box to get. They look exactly the same but the 430's tuner isn't as sensitive at the 2600's. [/QUOTE]
