UK HD TV via Satalitte (Freesat)
Hi,
Backstory : We live in a fairly remote location with pretty poor Internet. Its via a Wimax service. It should give 25-30Mb download speeds but during the evening this can drop substantially (probably contention ration issues) and this is causing breakups on our streaming / IPTV solution and the bandwidth also means that its rare for us to have two TV reliably receiving IPTV at the same time. Have tried various different VPN's (all impose a notable bandwidth overhead) and a wide range of streaming services inc mainstream iPlayer, ITVhub, More 4 etc.... through to Netflix, Pluto, Disney+ ... and even the more exotic IPTV services that provide thousands of channels. They all suffer to some extent.
Requirement : Our house home has a large satellite dish installed. I replaced the LNB when we moved in as it was broken. With the new LNB and a (proper) Freesat box connected I get most channels. But some of the HD channels are chopped or just too weak, with no signal lock. Especially BBC and ITV HD channels (although Chanel 5HD works well). Knowing that BBC will be stopping SD transmission on Freesat early next year (it's all going to HD) I really want to be able to watch HD mainstream UK channels via Satellite.
Couple of questions:
Does anyone in the Roldan/Balsicas region watch UK HD TV via satellite?
What Size dish is being used in this region?
Does it break up during bad weather (I know it can occasionally, but is it frequent)?
Does anyone have a recommended Satellite person that can help if needed?
Thank you in anticipation.
