    Astra 2G: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    1- no. does it make much difference? I bought the IBUQ with integrated feedhorn. 2-no. using skype to see the Q% on the TV connected to the TM 5402HD box while adjusting for desired transponder. 3-yes, but .. seems to not have a massive effect even over 20 degrees or so around where it is...

    Astra 2F: Scandinavia & Baltics Discussion

    After success with 2E in the Stockholm area with my CM 2.4M offset dish + Inverto Black Ultra, I have discovered I can also pick up the UK spot beam of 2F - without tweaking (in the evenings only) and all day if I adjust the dish for the difference between 28.5 and 28.2 of the 2E and 2F...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Yeah. Streaming. I kind of realized that a good few months ago when I saw that nobody actually watches the live telly anymore. I have a Roku 2 and a good WiFi-Router-VPN-always-on set up as well, but this dish thing became an obsession. It has to stop soon - but seeing the petals on @margusten's...

    Astra 2G: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Stockholm, Sweden I am getting nothing from Astra 2G UK Spot - 2.4M Channelmaster/Andrews/Raven dish. New inverto black ultra quad. Will try sometime soon with invacom qdf. (but 2e UK does work ok)

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Will get some more pics soon. We have clay here so dug a 5ft hole, lowered my massive pole in with the help of "a friend" (there was an "I" beam at the bottom of the pole which was itself about 5ft long). After that wedged bits of rock until level. Then 3 wheelbarrows full of concrete, checked...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    The HD channels are working fine now (only the 2E ones) - I do not get any 2G signals as I optimised for 2E - the difference between the two positions is noticeable. Not bothered about the 2G signlas - but will experiment more. I am a total amateur but have been learning since moving to Sweden -...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Results are in for Stockholm, Sweden. All 2E UK spot signals being received using the Channel Master / Raven 2.4 dish- although the HD channels are pixellating, all the standard definition channels are perfectly watchable (62% signal on my TM5402 HD, even with a DiSEQC switch). Will see if it...

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    .. swedish website blocket second hand. still a speculation of 500 quid - but included polar mount and electrical heat jacket to melt snow in the winter. It may be up for sale soon again if I don't get a success. Will send some pics and hopefully results at the weekend.

    Astra 2E: Scandinavia & Baltics Reports

    Here in Stockholm after a few months back getting some 2E UK spot signals during the daytime on my old 180cm prime focus dish I have now got my hands on a 240cm Channel Master. Hoping to show some results for useful channels over the next few days. Already got a picture on 11386H - but not done...
