Nothing to do with solstice.

The Astra satellite does not have a single transmitting antenna but a substantial number of individual transmitting arrays each of which is controlled electronically and remotely by uplink commands. These commands control not only the direction but also the signal strength that combine to make the rceived signal footprint.

This was done a number of times over the last few weeks so the footprint is now different with some areas of Spain getting good signals and there areas none.

All my channels are OK. Good signal strength.

My channels also came back on the 23rd/24th. Someone at Astra must have flicked a switch.

The day after I ordered a much larger dish (bugger)!  Never mind insurance for the future.

Are other folks seeing a degradation in signals over the four or five weeks?

 

 

 

We have a 1.5mtr dish in the north of Castellon which has been fine until recently. 

It seems there may be an upgrade to Astra next year but I can't find any info on that.
