I like that advice and will bear it in mind when I fit my 60cm dish - thanks.

I am doing the same as you. I have to wait until the warmer weather as I am retired and my bones can't do the winter. I have enjoyed KU band satellite for 35 years. I have a 1 metre Gibertini dish as my main dish and wish to remain within the law so my second dish is going to be a Triax 60cm...

I am also looking into getting another dish 1 metre ish. So far located stock in Germany - out of stock in all UK.

I had that problem. I bought a Viark 4K and never looked back as the Tecky was buggy from the start. :)

Thank you for your work and report. I was going to buy another Technomate, its looking like I will be another Octagon when I upgrade.

That satellite is no longer broadcasting there. You need 5 West B - that has taken over. You can find details of it at Flysat. :)

I am North of you in Grimsby. I use Octagon 88+ Signal is normally 79% Quality is often 95 - 100% Actual picture - excellent at all times. Rain has never degraded the picture on the French channels on this bird. Dish - 1 metre Gibertini stacked on a STAB motor. I think your dish will do well as...

I would like to buy a 4K receiver that has DVB-S2X. I am not bothered about 4:2:2. I think at least one of the VU range should do it. I need to look around to see if an Octagon 4K can do DVB-S2X.

Due to the progress made I might buy one now around Christmas - Thanks all. :)

I bought the SX88 - no sound of French. Then I bought SX88+ - sound works okay on all French channels. I have seen them less than £50 new.

What is the name of the rail and do you know a supplier? Thanks.

Snap. :) I had 7 days on horizontal, then I had to go outside with a spanner and turn the lnb from horizontal to vertical and have 7 days on that. Then I used a terrestrial aerial rotator and used that to turn the dish so that I could get from 27 west to 13 east without going outside and...

I also prefer the satellite dish route. I have a stab / Gilbertini 1 metre at 53 east to 34 west. Backed up by a 60 cm 19 east dish with a bolted on Technomate LNB to give me 28 east. I am over 60 years of age and can only maintain my dishes in spring, summer and autumn as my bones don't...

Nice post. I have heard of H266 is coming out next, so I have been waiting for that as well as the above.

Thanks for letting us know. Thats poo-y and cheesey. I thought we were doing well. :)
