The box did not have any way of checking signal strength or quality

What make/model of 'box? Some of them have things like hidden away
somewhere in the interface. So if you say what box it is, someone may be
able to tell you how to get it to show strength or quality indicators.

Also can be interference. Are you near Taxi, Ham, Tram Lines, AirPort Radar?

LOL! There's nothing much around there except sheep.

Perhaps some are jammers in disguise. 8-]

No holiday in England can be truly complete and satisfying
without such a day.

I did the same with Freesat this year with similar weather.

Presumably you were testing the size of the dish and its stability to
avoid rain fade and being blown off alignment.

Has it ever been repeated since the 1970s?

Or is it considered unsuitable for modern sensitive audiences because of
its racial stereotypes?

It isn't the audience that's sensitive. It's the lefty/liberals who
run broadcasting, who would like to brainwash us all.

On mine it's hidden on the "manual tuning" page. just make sure that you
don't press "OK" when you get there

Hello Bill,
Have you seen any of Pat Condell's Utube videos ? He has a great way of
putting ideas across with force and a wry sense of humour.
Pardon this intrusion but I really think he is on the right track.

On mine it's hidden on the "manual tuning" page. just make sure that
you don't press "OK" when you get there

My old Nokia 221T (which still seems to work now all the muxes are 8k, etc)
also has a 'bar indicator' of signal level on a manual tuning page.

In addition if you press the 'navi' button and then the 'opt' button it
pops up a full display of CNR, level in dBm, BER, and mux details. No idea
how well calibated, but useful for comparisons during fiddling about or all
the tedious rescanning.

FWIW We have now come though DSO. The second change was yesterday and
seemed to go OK. But as usual I had to do "auto scan with no input" to
clear the list, then "manual scan of each mux channel" to get the correct
ones and reject the alternatives from a weaker tx. Curiously the 'stage 1'
process muddled up some of the presented 'channel number' so I got things
like Al Jazeera on '320' on the Nokia after stage 1, but it is now back to
89.

Main annoyance is that we had a loss of signal for about 10 seconds on 7th
Aug. Right in the middle of the slow movement of Mahler's 5th on BBC2.
Arrggh. :- Must try and find out what happened. Annoying that the BBC1/2
Proms don't get repeated as do the ones on BBC4. So no second chance to
hear the work without the break. Murphy only strikes when it matters!

Slainte,

Jim

Better wear your tinfoil hat then.

This morning the BBC News I watched only covered what the Tories were
doing and only interviewed a Tory MP. This must be evidence of right
wing bias within the BBC ;-)

The idea is to get an equal number of complaints from both sides.
Sadly, the right wingers tend to be more vocal. Since they just love
having something to get all upset and self righteous about.
