Default Astra 3A 23.5E

Playing with one of the 80 cm dishes on a glorious sunny day here in the Scottish Borders.

Reasonable reception of the Horizontal tp's ONLY of Astra 3A 8)

11515H is the best one:

Strength 80%
Quality 48%

The other H's are around 40%

Not a sniff of the V's though - The quality meter stays resolutely on 0.

It was very pleasant sitting in the garden. Imagine the scene,

- old tv & Fortec sat receiver sitting on the Workmate bench
- cut down cardboard box balanced on tv as glare screen over the telly
- 80cm dish precariously balanced on 2 old tyres - to get it high enough to peek over the hedge.
- me reclining on the bench cup of tea in hand gleefully flicking through dozens of new Arabic channels
- neighbours peering over fence wondering wtf Im up to
