Subject: Lost Free to View Channels in Savioe, France

On recent trip to our apratment in St Martin de Belleville, near Moutier in France I discovered that I was no longer able to receive the Free to View channels on my 80cm dish and Pace digibox (?0.5dB LNB). I take the digibox and card down with me from the UK - so I know the combination of card and digibox was working with those channels before and after my trip (over New Year).

Presumably it has something to do with the move of channels to Astra 2D? Could it be that the beamwidth on the 80cm dish is not generous enough to cover the Astra bird beaming out the Sky subscription channels and Astra 2D?

Any help or suggestions that you can offer would be welcome - suggestions of alternative combinations of kit or test equipment that could help solve the problem - I am going back in February and would like to be able to sort the problem out on that trip.

Thanks in advance for any help.
