30 west 11615h is low signal but i get very good signal on all of them barring this one is there a reason why as someone on digital spy forum was asking about it and said it must be low power because of the content of the channels at night

so have they lowed the power of the tp ?

Its always been fairly rubbish, the worst of the high S/R transponders on 30W IIRC.
Think the content thing is just another urban myth as there is other comaparable nonsense FTA on other transponders on the same sat.

Is it the weather or have the weak transponders on 30W just got stronger?
They were especially weak up until Tuesday (17th) - I used to be able to drag some signal in after about midnight but it was impossible for about 2 weeks.
But from Wednesday it is a fairly reasonable picture even in the early evening. Cant believe anything has changed significantly in the atmospherics to do it.

Anyone else pulling it in?
