Had the MH a month which came with a Teleco 85cm satellite system to which I've added a FTA box to pick up UK TV in France. Worked on handover but it seems to be very intermittent over the time I've been using it and I put it down to the fact that I've moved in and out of the Astra 28 footprint, or so I thought....
So last week when I preparing for few days away touring in the Correze I tried it in our garden, no signal even though the smaller fixed dish was close by and giving a perfect signal of the BBC...So I deleted all channels, moved the van closer to the fixed dish and did an auto search and low and behold found 615 channels and everything was perfect...
A day or two later set off and stopped at Tulle SuperU for provisions which is about 150 kms SW of where we live..Perfect signal...We moved a further 40 kms SW, NO BL**DY signal even though another UK van with a smaller dish was happily watching the olympics...
So on our way home we stopped at Tulle SuperU, exactly the same parking spaces, NO BL**DY signal...So switch everything off and on, Nothing, Delete all channels and search again, Nothing, in desperation I change the dish to Astra 19 and search and find 650+ mainly German channels...Back to Astra 28 search again and now all 615 channels reappear and a perfect picture of the olympics !!!!
So we travel 75 kms North towards home and find a perfect treeless hill to stop on, try again, NO SIGNAL on Astra 28, try Astra 19 perfect...
What is happening???
