little bit of rain.

got abit of rain here only just had sat done the other week,19.2e and 28.2e are fine lost some hd channels on 13e is this normal guessing not should i get them to come back and sort it.i may even pay someone else because i think the kid who done it was sh11111t.after taking the job he said i always have problems doing these that he even said that.

I lost all channels except bbc1 and itv . Not worried one little bit and am assuming it is the static charge in the air that is causing problem more than rain.

ok thanx.

You should not lose any channels on 13? east on an 80cm i know i dont here no matter what the rainfall is like

When I lost all mine it was more like someone was tipping the paddling out the top window via a live electrical cable

right still having problems with this sat (rain),going to get diffrent bloke to do it next week as above i have 13e 19.2e and 28.2e on a 80cm dish in the south west on near cheltenham not there though.want to add another sat to quqd triax what sat would you reccomend.left it so long because for some crazy reason we have not had rain for some time.

Probably a alignment problem,but a good LNB always helps,sats you should get 28.2e,23.5e,19.2e,16e,13e,4.8e,0.8w....

I have two LNBs attached to a home made LNB holder fitted to one of the old Sky 60cm dishes for reception on 13e and 19e and only get rain fade on one particular transponder on 19e which shows ORF III so no great loss.

With an 80cm dish you should have little or no problems as those satellites are strong here in the UK.

i know they should be good mate,but the bloke who set it up im sure he wasn't good.i lose nearly all sats .the best i get are german channels.i will have it sorted soon though next week.just asking what other one i could pop on there when he comes only room for one more 13e 19.2 28.2 and ??

[**OVERRIDE**]

Whats your setup mate?....

[happy_highlander]

Depends on the lnb m8. If using standard lnb you are going to struggle getting 16 due to spacing so in theory you will be left with a choice of 23.5 or 9. You will get 4.8 but are not likely to receive viasat so not really worth it. I have both 23.5 and 9 and use 23.5 more than 9 by a long shot.

[**OVERRIDE**]

Forgot about 9e,as you mentioned don't use it much meself...

23.5 it is then cheers,thanks to all of you for your help.

23.5 it is then cheers,thanks to all of you for your help.

Using 13, 19.2, 23.5, 28.2 will also give you the biggest choice of channel lists as these four are by far the most popular fixed dish setup. I do lists for those for sats for both Enigma2 and tm5402/bm7000 both can be found on site tm one in general sat and enigma in dm bouqets
