Hiya thanks for all your help, my dad decided to get a new dish as he didn't want to miss the euros playing with the old one. he is now picking up itv, so he's happy.

Thanks again.

There were no dents, no noticeable signs like that dish satellite man. I would of liked to have had a play with the dish to find out what was the problem, too late now.


Out of interest, what did he end up getting?

Hasn't logged on for two days, but I can answer that - he's in Lanzarote. Here a carefully aligned straight 135 with a decent LNb / receiver should get ITV 11053 during the day with some pixelation but better at night.

Good dodgybox tuner is a paramount make or break :D
