Hi, I recently bought this meter from gumtree and for the life of me I can't get it working. I am no expert but I have been given advise my people from this forum. The terrestrial part of the meter appears to be working, the satellite side says no signal. This could be a cheap easy fix but...

Hi. Plugged it in to my tv aerial today and it works. See video. So tv works satellite doesn't. What do you think is faulty? Is it repairable?

Will do, thanks for the tip.

Battery ran out but see the spectrum in the pic Nothing. When I press spect button it just shows some black lines across the bottom, mainly flat line with 1 small peak Same line plugged in to sat link

Hi, thanks for the advice tried what you said and no good, just get signal too low. I get 13db on my iPad dreamote app and 80% on the sat catcher. I am fuming with this fella. He isn't taking my calls now. This guy is a professional installer. Gonna be sending him a letter in the morning or may...

The frontier official stats say it can get a 45 degree arc. In reality though the sky lnb sits up at r19 and the 1w sits at about L10. Think that the satellite at 0 gets the full use of the dish and as you move further along the rail the amount of dish that's illuminated by the satellite is...

I would still have the same problem that the dishes focus is central meaning I get fringe on the others, and it is large, really large. I have a large area of no mans land behind my house, It is sealed off from the public, South facing and has a clear view from about 5w through to about 28e...

Hello, I am back. Ok. I started with a floor mounted 1m dish about 8 years ago. It was great as I could mess till my heart was content. No wind, only issue was everything west of 1w was a no go due to the fence. I had a kid and decided to get the decking built, and a bit of landscaping done so...

Need, no. Want, yes! I get 28. 23.5 and 19.2. That gets me just about everything I need. Would like a motorised system again but to much maintenance. Very windy here! Right by the Irish sea!

Yeah sure. It's not as fancy as most members, I gave had motorised, gregorian and now single lnb dishes. Going backwards if anything! One is of my old wave frontier t90, interesting dish!

Hi, I am having a bit of a mare and worry I have bought a dud! I have two meters, satlink crap and the rover stceu. I flashed the rover with latest firmware, uploaded latest plan. Plugged the meter in to my working sky uk dish and... Turn on Select sky 28 plan Press memory for 2 seconds Select...

Very true. As its my house I know the wall mounts are straight.i just make sure the floor mount is verticle and I have a result :) saved me so much time and it's so enjoyable at floor level!

so today I decided to re calibrate my 3 dishes, usually this involves staying up a ladder for a couple of hours whilst I try with no patience to get a decent reception. On this occasion I bought a floor mount, spent 10 mins with the dish on the floor got the elevation and lnb perfect the simply...

Thanks for the diagram that really helps, I was using an angle meter wondering why the angles didn't match up. It really helps to have a good understanding of the science behind things, I'm a visual person so the diagrams really help. Many thanks

i have a dish that's rusty. The markings are all gone from the mount. I know I need my elevation to be at 26.5 and I have an angle calculator on my iPhone to show me angles. What angle am I measuring? Is it the arm? The front if the lnb?
