Some members still getting it with smaller dish sizes
for me not so lucky as usual .
but i do get 12db on my 2M prime focus dish
i think this sat Eutelsat 10A is pretty crap for signals lately i did get MUTV much stronger 16db even my 1.2 was picking it up well but time for Eutelsat to waken up and invest some money to replace this old dying satellite sooner than later maybbe before it does loose all power ?
cheers !
I think the lack of power may be related to this:-
The 12-meter-diameter S-band antenna aboard the Eutelsat W2A satellite has suffered an anomaly that prevents its ability to provide service across Europe as required by its regulatory license.
In December 2011 Eutelsat announced, that their satellite assets will be renamed under a unified brand name effective from March 2012. This satellite will become Eutelsat 10A.

For the power levels to be so low at times it is more than possible that more damage than has been reported by Eutelsat when you compare the amount of traffic on Eutelsat 16A of similar build to 10A,
