I found out today that the Astra 28 Satellite could not be found by my Teleco Dish. I tried moving pitch then when leaving London to return to Norfolk stopping twice to see if I could get a signal lock. No luck at all.
I then called my Teleco man in Newmarket who before I could explain he said...”you can’t get Astra 28.”
He informed me that the Satellite that provides most of our British channels had gone off line and my Teleco needs to be recalibrated.
Evidently this happened three weeks ago and it appears none of the Satellite dish providers for our Motorhomes have bothered to contact any of us.
I called the club and they suggested I join this forum.
Like most of us I hadn’t used my Motorhome for 6 weeks. Luckily I was on a one night trip However if I was just off to tour Scotland or Europe I would have had a big problem as I am an avid sports fan and use Astra 28 a lot.
If you have an automatic Satellite Dish go check it out immediately. If it doesn’t work contact the manufacturer or your installer.
It took just 5 minutes to reprogram. Big thanks to Mike at Van Systems Newmarket for fixing this for me.
Hope this helps a few of you.
