Default Express 3A at 11°W

Russian operated bird I think but have only seen feeds recently aimed at Italy by RAI and Mediaset.

First broadcast channel complete with Teletext.

Lyngsats beam coverage says 150-190cm so she must be booming in her intended range this one.

Ere Remlamp, what set up you using to get this mate

I'm asuming the Comag sl55, skystar 2 & Humax HD 2000 with 90cm and 104cm dishes are not all your using now. I've already figured out your using a TM by the info bar on your sreenshots

Just wondering as your not really that far from me so i should in theory be able to get nearly the same signals as you

When I looked at this channel earlier all I could see was a very out of focus corner of a window frame or maybe it was a picture frame. I thought that the camera must have been moved.
Other than that quite strong reception here.

SL55 replaced by the TM 1500 CI.

No difference otherwise this was on the 105cm dish.

Here are the freqs from just a quick scan @ 11w,11518v 4630 as showen from pic,still fta.on this from my 1.8 dish i get 73% strenth & 99% quality from my vantage.this shows what a great tuner the vantage has,the vantage gives a true reading here on signel(not like some others)now here is another freq on 11w 11684v 12800(mediasat) here i have the same strenth signel as other freq.

ps i think your find this good,i have my technomate tm-5500 DAPCI hooked up on the same dish.wow the tm what was my best tuner before i got my vantage.the signel from the TM-5500 DAPCI from the to freqs at 11w is stenth 71% quality only 46%.Thats a big difference in quality.
