[QUOTE="godzillafan, post: 756747, member: 370215"] Hi Guys in swindon at the moment, got to go to a wedding tomorrow. Yip the m8 snapped in half as I was using the rachet to tighten it. I have no idea how but half of it was in the wall and rest with me. A real pain So one T is up and now the K has to wait as there is 3 holes and only 1 coach screw left. The wall plugs must of been out. I used M8 x 80mm - need to recheck the wall plugs again as they must of been wrong. That happened when the diy places closed - I packed it up for the day. But I did manage to hacksaw the original mount with a trusty 150cm hacksaw. Dont ask how long it took. I was meant to use a angle ginder yesterday, but my cousin failed to show up with it. The 90 is back to normal settings and all screws are retighten for the next big push. Cant believe the screw just snapped in two, I would of had the dish up and photo on here. Only photo I got today was the bare was all marked up. Anyway more to follow. I have smart gold tit'n lnbs 16xsingle and 2xtwins - just to recap - 20 was the magic number, but first things first - get that dish back up and get 19E tuned up at 0. Will get 16 up and then go from there (I should say as many as I can). Next door - talking again, I moved the dish down a few feet from the top of the house. Was not too worried at the start, but you never know a 1.1m x 1m monster in black/grey colour looking down at you - not exactly a deck chair and sipping Pimms moment. But all well on that front - not put any wire up, that could change things again. BUT last few days have being spent networking the house. A couple of switch boxes and a lot of external cat wire. Basically 2 wires from one room going into 2 other rooms exsisting old holes in the wall. 1 main box broadband - from there - 1 tplink 8 switch - will power the openbox s9 and laptop. then another wire into a 24 siwtch which will power a laptop and xtrend 5000 and bluray and tv - and anything else I can find. lastly the last 24 switch will hook up to the broadband. That was thursday and friday's job. A nightmare as we did the cat boxes ourselves. Man I thought putting up a sat was easy. [/QUOTE]
