Thanks,for your attention,the 1,80 m.cassagrain was the dish of my first satellite system,a quite expensive Salora mark 2 if I remember well,that I bought in march 1986,and gave me a lot of satisfaction,but such a big and heavy dish created some problems with the neighbors ,and more recently some cracks on the terrace under the very heavy metal tripod who supported the dish,brought me to the decision to disassemble the lot and put there instead a couple of deckchairs and take a great deal of sunbathing from march until october and be satisfied with a couple of smaller dishes ...until astra d2.But I will try again,to improve the signal with a perfect alignment and maybe a good trim to a tall tree that could be responsible for a loss of a few db..By the way ,the transponders on astra d2 are a bit different..the transponder for itv for the south region ,is stronger than that intended for the north and unfortunately itv2 is on the last one.Bye..Thank you again..L.L.(ugania)..P.S.Do you know anybody who has got the same wacky (small) problem I got ? After 3 or 4 years of analogic Sky a year ago I got Sky digital with regular amstrad and card,but from the moment that appeared E4 channel,when I watch this particolar channel even for a few seconds, the receiver freezes and the only sistem to mend it is to unplug it from the mains, replug it, then wait a few minutes, press Sky on the remote for Sky welcome . Finish.
Would put some native speakers to shame.
