[QUOTE="sinbadmarino, post: 889421, member: 402168"] A piece of advice, please. I have installed a Prodeline 1.8 offset dish, 20 kms south from Pamplona (¿dead zone?), raven feedhorn and c120 invacom LNB. I think the orientation is well done. I have pointed the dish to what I suppose is the 2E satellite. How can I point 2E instead Eutelsat 28A? Well, I tune some transponder like the one that transmit ITV2HD, ITV3HD and ITV4HD from the 2E satellite, so if I get the strongest signal in those channels I get the best orientation to the Astra 2E. It works like that, doesn't it? I did that and I get a strong signal for a lot of channels, 18.5 db (ITV2HD, ITV3HD, ITV4HD, Sky Premier HD....), but no way of getting lock on BBC's and ITV's from Astra 2E. Any idea, any advice, please. Dreambox 7020HD, Prodeline 1.80m offset dish, raven feedhorn, invacom, 30 m cable. First, I installed the dish without feedhorn. Then I got 16 db signal. After setting up the raven feedhorn I got 18 db signal. Another question, please, for one of you who gets signal from the 2E and gets BBC 1, 2,..., how strong is your signal in the rest of the channels, for instance ITV2HD, ITV3HD, PremierHD? Thank a lot, Sinbad [/QUOTE]
