Is that the screaming signal finder ? lol

We got the Astra sattellites I'm no expert at all and my memory is bollox but I do seem to remember the instructions said look for Astra2 ??? 2 was the only one we couldnt find

Yes screaming sat finder

The instructions do say astra2, but when I choose that you don't get any signal quality, change to astra1F and it jumps to 60%

I'll try again the next time were away.

I have found this website very helpful on all issues regarding satellite TV, particularly if you're touring France or other parts of Europe. www.bigdishsat.com/.

got the lidl setup and managed to get astra 2, i tried reading the instructions was spending hours without success, so before it went flying into the skip i went to another caravan with one set-up took notice of the angle and direction and tried again and boom all the channels came flooding in lol, i asked how these compasses work and he showed me and i managed to do it it mins every weekend i went away.

problem i had was the amount of channels i picked up as it picked to many to real off here, i even enjoyed the adult ones when the misses turned her back lol.
