says you need a 1.8m dish at the bottom of that webpage

Yeah, i read that part, didnt know if that applied to the UK

GRTS is on transponder Intelsat 901 which i can pickup with a 90cm
I thought all channels from the same transponder would be the same strength ?

I think that your problem might be that it's on C-Band, and I suspect your equipment is setup for KU Band.

Hi Rick,

GRTS is on c band, i'm using a DM800 HD for the usual channels, how would I change the band ??

Many thanks in advance

You need a C-Band LNB, and possibly a C-Band Dish as well, the quoted dish size on the page will be so large as C-Band dishes generally are larger than "regular" dishes

I see !

Now makes some sence.

I'll just keep with the usual channels one thinks

Many thanks for you help.
