    Hi Graham,

    Is the change automatic on the HDR?

    No it's a free to air test transmission viewable by adding a transponder as specified using manual tune (Channel ID - Unknown). You can only view it in non-freesat. The normal EB1 channel 4 HD is still there. Expect a move (automatic) may be next Tuesday (just a guess).

    DS reports 100% signal in Tenerife in a location that 2D is not usable, also strong reception reported from SW France (Where are you Repassac :-).) Looks as if the beam pattern is no near as tight as expected.

    Hi Graham,

    How do I enter those specific details?

    When I got to Manual Tune I only seem to get the predefined coordinates. How do I enter them manually?

    Thanks,
    Paul.

    Scrolling to the end of the list gets you a blank entry. Once the details are in and the transponder is added scan it in the usual way.

    Not sure now if it's actually on a narrow beam, it's being recieved over a much wider area than a narrow beam transponder would suggest is possible

    Not being familiar with local conditions it's not really much help. Interesting to see what your neighbour Repassac finds. when he surfaces.
