Freesat Humax box HD
Just fitted one of these boxes for a mate and aligned to 28.2 satellite.Got 155 channels but not BBC News which says no or bad signal.All other
channels work well with good signal and quality.The dish is an old analogue one with lnb.Is that ok and ideas how to get the news channel
555

Might not be what you're after but it might be worth blagging sky into replacing the dish (oh yes sign me up, it's a load of cr*p
I'm off)
Then again it might be a case of being a hundredth of a degree (second?) off

Is it on Astra 2a-b-d and Eurobird1 ? I bought a cheap system from do it all and on 28.2 it picks up really well but I don't see BBC News in the
channel list. What sent the signal up the scale was turning the LNB in it's mounting which really gave a rock solid signal strength. Have a look
on dishpointer for the ideal angle and the scale should be marked on the holder. Just checked and we do get BBC
News perfect reception on Eurobird1.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Then again it might be a case of being a hundredth of a degree (second?) off
60 minutes in a degree and 60 seconds in a minute. Therefore 3600 seconds in a degree!

That's the one, although I do feel like I'm talking b**lox when I say you're a few seconds out of line.
