[QUOTE="sonny1120, post: 483050, member: 179876"] Thought i would update everyone, after trying several sites and pulling my hair out i have invested in a brand new system designed for caravans and it runs on 12v too so thats a bonus. Some tips to share One problem was the minidish we were using was way to tight to get the angle just right (hubbie insisted it wasn't) (we took our set up to a shop in birmingham to be tested to see where we were going wrong.) Also another problem we had not heard of was the if the digibox does get the signal within 10 mins or so its tuner will switch off - although you don't realise this at the time as everything works ok. So no matter how hard you try to get a good signal the box has basically gone to sleep, way round this is to simply unplug for 10 secs and reboot the system. This usually works if your certain you have the correct signal. But my main problem was my hubbie not wanting to part with money hence why he brought a cheapo compass when we first started struggling. We left with the correct compass & a new sat finder & new dish & 12v digibox - much to his disgust. But on the next site we stayed at put satellite on and picture within 5 mins. I now have to show him how its done :-rofl2 I hope this is helpfull to others. [/QUOTE]
