Yeeee-ha!

Great feeling, the first time (As in many activities ....................... ) >> Believe me, you'll b e able to do any future ones with consummate ease.
ha - I wish that were true for me. I helped the neighbour set up his 80cm with a monobloc (dual head for 19.2E and 13.0E) as he was having no luck himself. His wife told me that that was the third dish he'd tried... he was convinced the other two were flakey. Anyway - using a squawker I got signal for both satellites, but only about 50% or so quality which didn't make sense considering the power of those sats and the location. I convinced myself that he'd mounted the dish too high on the wall and the roof was interfering with the reception, and so I sagely discussed with him the likelihood that he'd have to resite the dish. He got one of his friends to come round and look at it - he quickly worked out that genius here had got the Diseqc A and B configured the wrong way round, something that hadn't even occurred to me :(

Don't forget on Settings to select Single LNB (until you add a second one/second feed).
