RE: Babe Channels on $ky - FTA or FTV?
Ironically,28.2 is the weakest,or hardest signal to pick up of the three commonly available satellites You could hang a dustbin lid in the air and receive Hotbird 13 lol! and 19.2 is not much less powerful.I first picked up Hotbird 13 with a 25cm plastic camping set dish! Astra 28.2 is too far away from the other two in my opinion to be received on a standard dish pointed at 19.2,I think.Monobloc LNBs for 19 and 13 are about 10 cms apart and benefit from both signals being very strong to make the 'offset' one still receive a good signal.I know with a big enough dish you can get all three and Astra 15 as well with the LNBs on a carefully positioned rail.I would be interested in your findings when you do get the extra LNB and how you connect it to the arm of the satellite.Perhaps it's because you are further north that the European satellites are so good? I know Sky fit a 45cm,not 30cm dish over the border as Astra 28.2 does start to weaken it's signal up there.
