All birds now back on line, 10773 now back to 11.7dB, so the BOSS can watch " New Tricks "

Thank the Lord!

BTW, is 2C data transponder still there? (Somewhere around 11008 V). No one is listing it anymore. Brian have you got a meter handy to check?

Just lost all 2E & F again, not checked Eutelsat 28, but guess I´ve lost that too, judging by the rain, 2000V and hail, do I really need to go and check 11008V!

Just checked 11008/9V, not a sausage! Could be me, the S1 or the fact we are both soaked!


PS, you have a fully automated 1.8m which is totally motorised and could have told you that, without sending me out in the rain!

Brian, what are you doing going out in the rain? :-rofl2 Why not just plug the meter in indoors?

And yes I have got motorised dishes but no receiver to check that data transponder. And I didn't want to go out in the rain to get the meter from the van.

Did doubt the S1 would see it, it has no HD capability and the data signal is 22500 16apsk if I'm correct, so not surprised I could not see it.

PS Didn't get wet really, used feed from Sagemcom to test

Got the free fireworks with cooling equipment again ( hail ), but this time no loss of signal. Only a baby storm this time!

Oops! spoke too soon, just lost ITV on the Sagemcom, VU is offline so cannot give accurate readings, but sure to say, we have lost all 2E and 2F at the moment. Eutelsat 28 OK, have sky news and pick
