What are your most used tools needed for installing a satellite setup.

A stanley knife & a sledgehammer

They -used to -come as standard with the range of external splitters and diplexers from Fracarro (or was it Televes ?).

It was a German supplier of some switch or other that sent me mine, one that sends complimentary sweets amongst the order
For sure it wasn't a UK firm, the ones I used to order from are much too stingy.

dual socket ratchet wrench, I have a long 10mm socket on one side and a long 13mm socket on the other side.

I have one of those also... ;)

@Llew

That'd be DVB Shop.net at a guess: They sent me a Satellite Meter and a Sweet along with my first order!

Sounds familiar. They know how to - erm - sweet-talk a customer ;)

Remind me not to ask you for help

I can tell your from the Midlands just by that statement.

I also have one of these which is great when installing IRS systems with more than 16 outputs on one switch as it gets a bit tight fitting f connectors to 24 and 32 output switches.






You wouldn't believe how useful one of these tools are when working on a big system.

What do you think I use to knock my fenceposts in with? All my dishes are bolted to old fenceposts

Basically what my link goes to.

I'm amazed nobody has mentioned the one true universal installation aid - a big steaming mug of builder's tea.

20 embassy no.1 and a very large mug of pu-her tea :-) oh and some spammers and 2 sat meters.

 

[Trust]

This is my main tool, it's for bending sat signals so they enter the lnb at the correct angle.
Was 1st used on the satellite system on the Titanic.
:O)

I thought it only works for saw-tooth signals ?
