[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 798124, member: 310216"] So, I took my car to have the bottom ball joints changed and in chatting to the (english) mechanic he said was having problems with his sat dish. I think it was the original one from the last French occupants, as it's fitted with a 3° monoblock. He's tried to align it himself but can't get above 40% quality on the French receiver he's using. Anyway, in an exchange of labour costs I've offered to align his dish, swap out the monoblock for a new single LNB he has and install his Sky+ box. (He's replacing the nearside ball joint on my car for free) :):) Thing is, I haven't installed a Sky+ box before. Is there an installers menu to find and does anyone have a few tips? Or is it just as straightforward as plugging in and switching on? (I don't think he has a subscription) Will the fact he's using a single LNB complicate matters? (obviously he can't use the PVR feature to it's full extent) [/QUOTE]
