Finally got sorted, the guy dismantled the huge 1.2 dish and mounted a 60 cm dish on the wall... just above head height with 2 lnbs set on hot bird and german astra. I ve got a small dish higher up on the wall that sky put up so Ive got access to...

any diagram anywhere that shows the big sats available from UK ?

Im thinking that a 60 cm dish , mounted on the wall .. that I can move about manually.... find hotbird... from mem I think there are 3 big sats Ive got astra wired in on a small dish high up on the wall I was using this big dish to get hotbird and another one...

I put a few wedges in an made the slab a bit more level... but , you guessed, no signal in the technomate Thinking about it though, the wall is the obvious place to mount a dish this pole and slab set up is a pain The wall is 90 degrees..... a moveable dish...

just been out to look at the lnb .... the label is white, the sun has bleached off any name or number it might have had. One of the 3 metal rods that hold the lnb mounting did come out years ago, I taped them all up, they seem quite solid now. Spose I should go out with a plumb...

id be happy just to get back on 19.2 overkill or not.. theres lots of stuff up there esp the German TV Any advice about where to buy a new system from ? prob need a guy to set it all up too !

thanks for the advice, the LNB is prob 10 yrs old by now so a replacement is prob a good idea... the cable you see is just a short cable I got together to take the signal thru the kitchen window.... on the small TV while I do a search the real cable is disconnected while i...

thanks for the advice Mick... at least it will prove that my lnb is working or not ! Standing there moving the big 1.2 meter dish, watching the tv thru the window, you d think there would have been some flicker of action ! instead of the standard notice ... no signal ! I could...

its depressing trying to hit on a sat all I see on the tv is .... no signal ..... sign you d think that tech mate would have a search setting where you see a meter who s numbers increase as you turn the dish and get near the sat position. In the old days of analogue you d get a...

maybe its time to get a new dish and get it wall mounted . A wall mounted pole should mean a good ... plumb pole.. a modern dish should have elevation degrees on it . My pole bolted into a concrete slab is old tech ... and also takes up a lot of space

thanks for that link... a sat signal strength finder looks like the kit I need to get... at £9 . 50 ... not a lot to outlay. Ive got my 22inch tv back from repair so I will be able to get it rigged up near the window ... near the sat... Just got 2 plugs from maplins so I...

youd think that moving the dish slowly... esp a big 1.2 dish... something would hit.... a little audio would at least confirm that everything is working and Im connected . At present Im in a kind of limbo, are my cables ok ? is the LNB ok ? it could be a number of things. any...

Hi, Got my 1.2 metre dish set in the astra 19.2 direction. not been using it prob since last October... now just cant get any signal. Ive got the techmate box. I go outside to physically move the dish but mainly its left on 19.2 I took the cable out of the LNB cut it, cleaned...

Hi, Im trying to help an old couple a few houses away. They have a tv........ goodmans mod no LD 26650 its a small 24 "? LCD tv I gave them a pair of headphones I had a look on the set for the usual earphone socket could nt see one. There are lots of the other type...
