Sat tv in Benidorm (1 Viewer)

[Just smiffy]

I remember reading a few threads on this and thought I'd let some know that on my oyster 85cm and humax freesat box I'm getting all channels except bbc2.....

Sharp is well happy ....

Just now in Murcia I am getting everything on a Oyster dish with a Strong Sat receiver.

Sorry Gus, when we lived in Aguilas we shared a 2.4m dish, that was hit and miss, here in Totana, its totally different, and yesterday on a 85 cm Oyster I started to get everything, I sent a PM to @Satandpcguy he said it could be down to conditions currently being perfect for reception.....cold nights/warm days. Contact him yourself and ask about changing your LNB...I did a couple of years ago....it made all the difference.

Been there & done all that .It does .& always has, varied depending on time of year, proximity ofearth to satellite, also when satellite is in line with sun behind at around 11am in winter you can lose some or all of it for a while.
A 2,4 is the only real answer but there isn't anything I want to watch that's worth that sort of money.

That only happens twice a year, around March and October time, around the time of the two equinoxes...

Jumar,

Can you still get BBC from Astra 2 today on an 80 cm dish? I'm about 90 metres from you and I can't get BBC from Astra 2 on my 80cm dish through a SkyBox.

Hi

There's plenty of space at the moment so just come along if you want. The weather is forecast to be sunny but with slightly lower temperatures than normal.

 

[Just smiffy]

It's getting cooler all along the coast as well ...

Not the one I keep my pension in I must add. You might like to try your SKY box with my dish.

That's a good idea! It may take me some time to reach you, though.

Meanwhile, in a motorhome in Totana in Murcia, there are two men with t.... e........ o.. ! (Fill in the blanks )

 

[Hagstrom]

Took my DRX890 Amstrad Sky+Box to Jumar's and could get some BBC Regional services through his setup.

I saw that he is getting all BBC and ITV channels on his Oyster 2 80cm van dish through a Strong 7404 receiver in Totana.
