Have you tried turning the lnb slightly??? The channels you refer to are on Astra 2D and the signals from this satellite are weaker in Europe therefore the position of the LNB has to be precise.

I don't mean turn the dish, just rotate the lnb (skew) which should increase your reception of the Astra 2D channels.
Are you seeing the other channels (Astra 2a and :cool: ok??
What size is your dish and what other equipment are you using???

Hi again,
Go to this site http://www.astra2d.co.uk/
Click on 'Reports' and then 'Germany' and you will get a better idea of what you need to do next.
