Default 33E - Weak?

Noticed this has been up and down for the past few days, Fox Turk in particular. :?

Anyone else had problem with 33e & Fox Turk.

Theres several comments over on the DS forujm that folk havent been able to get Fox Truk over the weekend, but its back to normal now.

At a guess they have turned the uplink power down a bit to make it a more difficult catch.

Being so close, perhaps it was knocking out Sky Sports 1, and Rupert had to go next door to complain about the noise?

"Rupert" being the name for everything in satellite you don't like of course :roflmao:

I couldn't get a sniff of Fox Turk with my Invacom LNB so I tried the Titanium and it came in no problem last week

However, Saturday was a different kettle of fish as I found the signal far weaker, only just about giving me a stable picture on the TM :?

Weaker than it was a 20 days or so ago.
Dropped by 5% signal at the very least.

No m8, just the Invacom quad universal The Andrews feedhorn and a c120 LNB are one of the many sat items on the shopping list :

Don't think Fox Turk are showing the game tonight but, besides, Monday is speedway night
