Apologies in advance if this sounds totally daft as I am completly new to satellite TV. I was given a fairly new eliptical sky dish and bought a touchbox 4 receiver with the intention of watching French TV on Atlantic Bird. I rigged up the receiver to a TV and the dish outside the house. I tried putting in the codes for various satellites into the receiver and the names of the satellites came on screen. I then tried using a compass to turn the dish the appropriate direction but failed to pick up any signal. My questions are:
- Is it daft to think I could get any sort of signal by simply proping it up and pointing it in the right direction? I had hoped to get something that would help me work out the most unobtrusive place I could put the dish.
- Is there anyway of telling if the LNB is working and connected properly
- Are there different types of LNB for different satellites
