East beam reception isnt unknown in the UK - Ive seen BBC India analogue reported a few times. However digital reception is exceptionally rare - well done remlap - I take my cap off to you!

Very good. My little 88cm dish won't get anywhere near it - tonight or any other night.

I'm getting closer. Perhaps if I'd have got up a bit earlier? :?

Good reception noted during the day. Nice day here but started to dull over towards 5pm. I took the following pics about 5.30pm after I had put my dinner in the oven. Reception just over the threshold of my set up.
Now, at 8.30pm light rain, blocky picture.
