Hi all,
As I'm new to all this, please excuse my naivety on the subject.
I have a 60cm dish with an Alps .7db u/v Lnb pointing at Astra 19.2.
The cable (75hms) is on a 50+ metres run to the receiver and has an 'F' connector about 10 metres from the Lnb. The picture received on the analogue receiver is perfect.
However, I've got Sky digital and have tried to test the old cable to see if it is suitable for digital. So far, the Sky box has picked up the signal (40%) but will not lock on.
Do I need new cable?
Will a line amp. equal. do?
Dish might be out of alignment?
Many thanks
Sab
