TGRT_EU is doing well tonight with an over half scale signal.

11117 is locking OK but a radio only transponder it seems

Had to nudge the old SS1 a bit both times if you look

Getting TGRT_EU no bother at all on my 90cm dish in the Midlands

BER is bouncing between 10 and 0 so its quite a good signal lock

I was up at 40E and stopped off on the way back at 33E where I found that all the broadcast channels seem to have disappeared. I used to get good reception on this one and all I can get now are data channels . . . . did a blind scan to check.
Is it me or have they really gone??

Please ignore my previous post - was a) user error, b) they've re-shuffled the TPs or c) CU. Anyhow things are pretty much as usual now.
