On 05/09/24 my Satfi dish stopped working. The reason is as below. (taken from a Satfi communication.)

"The satellite provider and broadcaster have moved the channels broadcasting from, and subsequently turned off the transponder currently used by the SATFI antenna for tracking the Satellite Astra28.2E (Astra2). This means that the satellite dome on the roof of your vehicle will be unable to obtain a satellite lock as it can no longer see a signal from the frequency it is scanning for when powered."

I have today got an upload file from Satfi to set the new satellite positions and it worked!!

If anyone wants a copy of this file and the instructions to install it let me know and give me your email. The file is for the Satfi EU model with auto skew. I do not know if it works on other models.

NB: the instructions say use a USB stick no larger than 8gb. I endorse this as my first attempt with a larger capacity stick failed.

This is great news and perfect timing as my new Moho has a EU dish but I have no clue about how to use it or what it does whatsoever. Can you send file please

My satfi uk has also stopped acheiving sat lock.
If this doesnt work, I'll remove it and have more space on the roof for solar.

Firestick for tv.

Thanks

Graydo

Actually, I'm pretty sure my satfi unit puts me juuuuust above the height restriction for French payage's so its days may be numbered anyway but I'll give it a try.

Thanks for posting, I have heard nothing from satfi themselves.

I think the limit is supposed to be the van, not anything on top, e.g. Sat dish, aircon etc.

Hello
We seem to be having the same problem with Our Satfi satellite - This is all new to us so we’re going to get a TV engineer out but may try this first. Could you possibly send me the file please?
Thank you
