But you should be able to get Ch4, five and all the cheapo channels with a 40cm dish. It has nothing to do with the bottom of the arc, all about footprint and dish size (and correct aiming of course). @Ray, 10891 is on Astra 2D which means you need about 80-85cm Dish in Hamburg.

If you get a new digital receiver, everything should be fine. Just check that the LNB is of Universal type so that it works with the digital channels. There are lots of German channels on that position. @Danny: Your dish was pointed at 19.2 East, there are still lots of Astra satellites on that position (1B and 1C are gone but there are new ones).

I wonder is this Astra 1b 1c still exist? If I have a new receiver will the existing set up still work （assume the LNB, cable etc are still function) ? Or I better forget it to have a complete new system? Appreciate any comments and advise Hi

Check for the Network ID. @Neil: Any growing trees or a new building? If not probably a very slight misalignment. Withou loosening the bolts, push and hold the dish in each of the 4 directions and watch the quality bar. If it get's better loosen the bolts and do a very very small adjustment in that direction. @Steve: You’ve got the wrong satellite. Check for the Network ID.

My next visit I got nothing so i put up a new dish and bought a meter. I get the screeming from the meter when trying to align but no reception. Can anyone advise what i am doing wrong please.

Read the manual of your receiver on how to do a scan of the channels. Billy:
