Hi, so as not to cause any problems - and thanks to Wildman for his comments, I am starting a new thread!

We have a KVH dome and have been advised by Shane of Snellyvision that it will need to be reprogrammed now the satellite has moved, and he's able to do this for £25.00. I have asked if we will have to wait until the satellite is fully positioned before it's reprogrammed and will post his response. Shane installs most satellite systems so may offer a similar service for others.

With regards to streaming UK tv whilst in Spain , I will pm JJ who I am sure will tell me the site I need.

I have just had another email from Shane at Snellyvision.

"The position will be the same, its just another new satellite added to the astra2 compliment of satellites. Astra2 is not just one satellite, its several all on the same vector. It's the frequencies that are the problem. They may turn frequencies off and then, as we find out, if it's one of the frequencies automatic systems search for, they just spin and spin and spin because the frequency is no longer there to tell them it's the right satellite. We have to reprogram the system to look for a different frequency. There have been frequencies turned off last week that are causing lock on problems. This was probably done in anticipation of the new satellite joining the compliment.

Does that help explain it better?"

I know very little about all this, I just want to press a button and for the KVH Dome to find the satellite! maybe someone else can come back with some info??

It doesn't actually affect me as I have a manual tune system, though the new footprint of the replacement transponders may well affect us when abroad.
