30 June 2007
Daystar, Genesis, EWTN, BEN all on 12523 H 27500 2/3
Many of you are not getting these channels
reason: All Christian channels except two are on a different satellite from Sky channels
Sky is 28.2 degrees East of South and Christian is Eurobird at 28.5 degrees East of South
The problem is the transponder 12523 H which is less powerful than the others.
Moving the dish by .3 of a degree to the right or 1,000th of a revolution has cured it for most people.
Never attempt to touch the dish unless it is absolutely safe to do so.
We suggest you just touch the right edge with someone watching the TV
Remember this will only work if you are getting all other channels.

GOD TV – MAJOR Changes
GOD TV and GOD UK remain on 11681 V 27500 2/3 but .......
The sound has changed and GOD TV logo boxes and some others now have Real Madrid Sound with God TV picture!     You will need to retune.
GOD 2, GOD UK and GOD Revival are all the same programme.
For over 4 years GOD TV have broadcast on two channels to the UK.
Today they turned one off and left GOD UK.   All Christian TV Satellite Receivers have always had both.
David Green always said "We will show both as some day one may be turned off".
Today it was!, so just watch the No.2 channel and not the one before BBC News 24, which should be deleted.
 
 
With Revelation having changed we suggest this is the ideal time to have your box retuned by us.
Charge £29.95 for almost all Receivers or FREE for Support and Rental customers.
YOU SHOULD BE GETTING AT LEAST 12 CHRISTIAN CHANNELS which are all FREE to watch.
