[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 888851, member: 196043"] Dave HD, Watch, HD, Alibi HD and TCM SD are now on the UK spot so it would make sense that you can't receive those on your setup. What does seem very odd is that you've lost Dave SD and Gold. Something is not right with your setup. These are still transmitting from Astra 2A and have been pretty much from the day they started. Astra 2A should be one of the strongest satellites for you, as the main footprint covers Poland easily on both north and south beams with a standard Sky minidish. Even in Finland I can get Dave SD, Watch SD, Alibi SD, Gold, etc on an 80cm dish. The newer Astra 2F and Astra 2E may not be quite as strong but they still have a Polish "hotspot" which should mean you get the European beams on an 80cm dish. The new Astra 2G European beam should be stronger again for you (similar to 2A) but no one knows how the UK beam will behave in the fringes until it goes live as Tivu says. For the UK spot beam reception, that's going to be tricky if I remember correctly. There are various threads on here detailing people's problems with it in Poland. If you are lucky you might just get the "Swedish sidelobe" which would help keep the dish down to more sensible sizes.
