I have a SKY+3100. and have problems with ch4, I am on an Invacom quad, with a 2.4m however my other two boxes are OK, both Pace DS430N, So I am assume, that there is a slight variation in the tuner capability??? . dont know if that helps.

Mike4t,Thanks for your reply,so ch4 is ok through your DS43N box,How does ITV and BBC perform as I have bad reception on both at certain times mainly in the evening, just when we are sitting down to watch our favourite soaps.

billiam,

Can i suggest you try an Icecrypt 0.1db LNB ,, I am in Ireland and with a Channel master 1.8m dish and this LNB I can pick up Nilesat which as you may know is pointed at Egypt, plenty of suppliers in the UK and Ireland, if you need one sent out PM me

All the best

An Icecrypt LNB (for offset dishes) on a prime focus 2.7m dish? I don't think so. There is no such thing as a 0.1 db LNB, such claims are marketing hype. You don't sell these, do you?
The usual advice to buy an Invacom applies in this case, particularly as it is Cyprus.
