    Hi all. New to the forum. We live in south west France, we have a humax HDR1100, 80cm dish (I know this is too small for this area). We get good reception at times and sometimes we lose channels being so far south with a small dish. Lately it has been dropping out and coming back a few seconds or minutes later. Signal strength and quality can go from good to zero in a second then come right back. Is this just dish size or maybe a dodgy lmb? Thanks

    Hi and welcome to the forums. I've moved your post to the HDR1100 section to ensure your question is picked up.

    32450 Faget Abbatial. Pretty close in satellite beam terms. How good is your reception with 100cms?

    Ahh just east of Auch. I aligned it with a professional meter which I happen to have. I am in Perchede.

    Normal use with rain, no problems.
    Heavy rain of storms cause problems especially on HD, SD still receivable up to 'all hell breaking loose' weather.

    So satisfactory. If I were buying a new dish I would go for 110cm.

    We have applied for out Brexit cards for if you had a dish you wonted checking when we visit the prefecture that would be possible.
