It only just wings enough signal from Astra 1D to get some channels. 1D is not the same power as A B or C and contains some of the UK only stuff. Its transmit footprint is optimized for UK only. Also your trying to hit the center point of 4 satellites that don't all transmit at the same power level, etc :-( I am not sure about the LMB's and any frequency ranges etc so i don't know if *any old* LMB will work for digital and analogue, it may do and may not.
