[QUOTE="LukeUK, post: 505767, member: 285111"] Hey Steve, sorry to hear you missed the Tour of Flanders... I'm not too sure it's the box you have the problem with from what you've said, the setup you have mentioned looks the same as mine..but I'll tell you how I set mine up, other than that I might not be able to help much. Turn the box on and select channel 1 (or whatever channel you want to put Eurosport on). Press the button on the remote that says 'Freq.' - You'll see on screen it will come up, use the volume keys to select 'UnLO' on the display panel. Press the 'Freq.' button again until you reach some numbers and type in 1259 Press the 'Freq'. once more until you see 'A 5.80'......use the volume keys to move this to 'A 7.20'. Now use a pen or something similar to press the 'MEM' button in the middle of the remote. The next step is to get your TV somewhere you can see it whilst moving the dish, tune the box to the Eurosport channel and move the dish around. As for what the vertical angle should be, here in the south I have my Minidish set to 25 on the mounting bracket, not sure if that means a lot... Skew (the angle of the LNB), and the angle the dish is twisted at will make a difference too. All I did is spin the dish around until I got a vague picture, and then adjusted it from there. What dish are you using and whereabouts are you? If you get a snowy image at one point, but blue the rest of the time then I would say you're best bet is to get back to the snowy image, and then adjust from there. Hope this helps! Luke P.S. Sometimes Eurosport have a video internet stream running, so you might be able to catch some of the classics on that live - [url]http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/07042008/58/live-streaming-schedule.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
