First thing is to check the cables (connections and for any splits and water ingree into the cable), and maybe the LNB. If you can try another receiver on the set up.

If you are only BBC World News, and lots of other country channels, then you are on Astra 1 at 19 east and not Astra 2.

I have an old boat in Redon, South Brittany (about 60kms north of Nantes) and have a Tevion portable system, which I bought in Aldi for £59.99. The dish is 30 or 35cms and I get all the UK channels on Astra 2, without a problem.

I live in Belgium in a semi rural area – no large industries. About two weeks ago each morning I suddenly started getting intermitent breaks to my satellite reception (all channels). I lose sound and vision during the breaks (ten to fifteen seconds) They continue until about 1400 and then stop Obviously something is interfering with the signal, but what is it likely to be and how can I try to trace it. I have had satellite for almost twenty years and the signal has always been good.

Freesat also has Luxe HD….so I think Freesat and Freeview have the same number!
And Freesatfromsky also has C4 HD and Five HD.

Freesat vs FreeSky vs Freeview

This statement is now out of date and is misleading.
Freeview has more HD channels than Freesat. I get BBC HD, ITV HD and Channel 4 HD on Freeview whereas FreeSat has only BBC and ITV HD.

I supoose it depends which satellites the other dishes are pointing at!
use dishpointer to get the general direction, then a portable TV, sat finder meter, and a receiver to locate the correct satellite – even a small eoor in direction can mean you are pointing tot he wrong group of satellites…
