I have the same problem with UK TV, been here 8 yrs without any problem but now any slight change in the weather and we lose the signal. We don't pay for sky and the card is no longer needed as we only get the free channels so would be interested in any answers on this.
No changes as far a I can see

I basically know nothing - (having decided all my TV was going to come down the phone line, five years ago) but Hotbird was a satellite we used to use for analog. What are the coordinates for this sat? Currently (but not permanently) there is Astra 1N (fta BBC etc), which I think is somewhere near 28deg E of S (maybe 23 deg).聽 聽Worth checking if the powers that be have turned Hotbird off.
Well I'm rubbish at anything

at least concerning RAI & MEDIASET transmissions it may well be due to the fact they they have already stopped all analogic transmissions (in the centre north of the country) in favour of digital terrestrial transmissions which require a de coder in order to see them.BTW one of the main producers of digital de coders is owned by the brother of former PM Berlusconi who gave the green light for the conversion well it keeps the money coming in -no?
So are you saying that

I think that with a realignment of your dish (probably to a different Eutelsat, as Badger suggests), you should get the RAI channels back. This page of geek wisdom shows that the RAI 1, 2, 3 channels have now left Hotbird. 13deg. You could find the equivalent page for any of the Eutelsat 'birds' (!) on the same site. Actually, googling Hotbird gets you the satellite - which is nice, because my innocent search on 'donkey' didn't get me the right kind of asses.
Problem solved....

did not need to re-align dish so still pointed at Hotbird. 聽Rai 1 etc have been shifted to channels 851 and BBC World News stayed on 352. 聽Further cutting back of a rose also helped (thanks Angie), so all in all everything is ok again. 聽Thank you again for all your help and suggestions.
