    Hi
    Here in Denmark(Vejle area) using a VU+Duo with a Gibertini 1.25m and a black ultra LNB at the moment i get the following
    BBC SD and HD no signal at all
    ITV HD and SD no problem at all so i guess thay have not switched yet

    My area of Denmark is one of the worst areas for reception on the new UK beam there is a dead area right where i live further east or west can get it i dont get a sniff here

    I'm living nearby Zola25 in the town of Vejle Denmark. As it happens, I've just this minute sat myself infront of the tele and for the first time had the horror of seeing a black screen where BBC1 used to be! They've gone - all BBC's are now non existant except the BBC red button 2, this is still as clear as a bell. All ITV'S are ok as is Sky News. Dish is a 1.1m Triax mounted on a motor drive to a VU+ Duo.
    What I'm unclear about is that , according to King of Sat, the tv I can't now recieve (BBC1 London SD along with BBC 2 Eng SD and others) on 10773 H 22000 5/6 comes from the Astra 1N yet theres no report of programs changing satellite to the Astra 2F as has previously been planned.
    I could recieve these programs just a few days ago on this transponder from Astra 1N - nothing appears to have changed, the beam is UK as before, the satellite as before and the frequency as before yet here I am with zero SNR signal.
    I read that the BBC will eventually change to the Astra 2F then all signals would be lost over here so how is it we've lost when no apparent change has been made? Has there been a reduction in transponder power? Have they moved the footprint more south? I have no idea.

    I read that some guy in Fredriksberg could recieve BBC1 but on a much reduced SNR. Is that worth having tho?

    240cm dish with Invacon C120 Quad LNB to Gigablue Quad.

    All BBC and most S** gone.

    Still have good quality all ITV HD's and C4 variants BUT they're likely to move to new UK spot beam on Astra 2E very soon. Then need to find some other way to get UK tv here in the Azores.

    Already found that live and catchup all BBC channels are available online in SD using either Google Chrome or Firefox with Media Hint added as an extension/addon. Where there's a way!!!

    VPN's and IP shields often slow down line speed. Any expats pm me if you need some help to set up on line.

    Cheers A

    In addition to Media Hint that will not work on Internet Explorer, you can use Filmon for online tv.
