    Best 1.2m Dish?

    Hi Zorbua, I'm struggling to install my new Gibertini 1.25 aluminium dish on a 50mm pole as the supplied clamp needs 76mm I believe. Then I stumbled on your post and the photo showing the plate that fits the mounting exactly and would appear to reduce it to what I need. Can you please tell me...

    ...and thanks to you too Timo! I certainly saw this one. I was using the System Setup/ADD channels menu to tune them, but I was NOT using the Services/Other channels menu to subsequently view them - until now. Anybody else who replied to this thread - thank you too! FWIW I am testing a Proxy...

    BINGO! What a wally (me). Yes, I was placing ticks in the boxes and saving the changes, but I hadn't realised that you had to go to "Other Channels" to view the result. I thought they were amalgamated into the normal channel listing. I think the reason I didn't try this before was that the...

    Thanks for your continued interest, but I'm afraid we're still stuck without C4.

    Thanks for that, but I still can't get C4. It appears in the Other Channels lineup when I select 12.480/V as do E4 and More 4, but I continue to get the No signal message. I have a 3.2m dish - as big as a jacuzzi, but still no luck. Maybe Larnaca is just too far East?

    It was Friday (completely by coincidence) that I tried to manually tune the Humax box! From what you say, even taking it back to the UK for a Freesat retune won't help. Although I get ITV1, I can't get CH4 - can you help? Shows in the EPG but no signal message. I tried all the freqs listed...

    My Humax Foxsat HDR was set up in the UK and up until the end of last year was working perfectly here in Larnaca, coupled to a 3.2m dish. I've been off-island for a couple of months and on my return, only BBC1/2 were working. I tried a Sky+ box with a white card and can get everything BUT...
