Hi, yes it is a monoblock, I used to use it for 19E & 13E, would it be any use for another with 23E? (other than sky as I already have that and freesat) Thanks

Any ideas if I would get another satellite with 23E if I used a twin LNB?

Think am going to give up with the motor, am only really wanting 23E for the Czech channels and where the dish is is like a bloody wind tunnel! with no alternative. Had it ok then lost it later in the evening. Am going to cut my losses, remove the motor and put another fixed dish in for 23E. If...

Fibreoptic? how does that work?

Got thor on the meter but back to erratic in the house, I think new inline boosters & length of cable may be in order

Great, I think 5E is the furthest I will get but will try to get the others. Fingers crossed.........

Narrowed down the problems, just swapped the humax cable to the technomate, stable signal, scanned and full Astra 28 channels, so now to swap the cable at the dish end tomorrow and hopefully, finally get the motor dish set up at last. What's the current best satellite to start the arc from...

Can you post videos on here? might be useful to see how the signal is reacting

Yes, I have inline boosters for all the cables coming from the dishes, all the rest are fine and I get decent strength & quality with the boosters even with 100m. I would have imagined that any part of the outer braiding touching would result in no signal at all? I might try a replacement cable...

Hi guys, had an afternoon of re-doing and renewing! have 2 dishes about 100m away through the woods. Had problems with the 'invalid postcode' and lack of channels on freesat (is also sky dish) but after a wee adjustment and clean of the dish is better. However, I put the meter on my sadly...

Hi, didn't really move that much to be honest, just flickered between a few percent. On the old satbeeper it either showed high on the needle and with the sound every time you hit a satellite then dropped off inbetween but this doesn't do much at all when moving the dish. Is really frustrating...

the meter lights up 13v / 18v so I guess the power is there

er, actually I don't know! lol, presumed so with getting some signal

Ok, that's very interesting and helpful, might need to sort a new lead before sending it back, best try and sort a strong transponder to try it too I guess. Am trying to find furthest west sat to set up the motor but struggling to get anything past sirius

I did wonder about that but wouldn't it show nothing on the strength & quality bars if that was the case?
