Hmmm. That's a bit odd then.

The "normal" UK stuff (BBC, ITV, 4/5) are my best signals. Although for reasons known to someone much wiser than I am BBC4 only ever seems to broadcast a black screen (very arty) even though the signal quality is as good as BBC3 (which is on the same transponder I believe).

CBS Drama and CBS Reality do show up (bit low on quality but very watchable picture) but CBS Action and Horror are a no-go.

It's not that I particularly want to watch any of this stuff. I just like the kit to work properly so I can prove to myself I can actually do it without getting a bloke in. In addition, I'd like to pass something on to the people who come along after me and think (like I did) what a good idea putting a satellite up would be.
