- My Satellite Setup
- Humax and Echostar receivers, Dragon, two dishes, one fixed 100cm dish pointing at Hotbird, and a 90cm motorised dish; plus a rubbish DVD recorder and cool DVD players, and lots of cables!! Oh, yeah, and a video recorder - best invention yet!!
As you know I have a motorised dish. Up until yesterday, I had my twin LNB, with one cable leading to my bedroom and one in the dining room.
I decided since I am spending more time in my upstairs office I'd extend the cable from downstairs to my office.
Everything worked out okay, until I removed the scart lead from my TV, and the signal to the satellite went off.
It didn't make sense. As soon as put the scart lead back in the TV, the full signal strength appeared on the sat receiver again.
So now, even though I only wanted to connect my sat receiver to my VCR via scart, I now have to keep the sat receiver ALSO connected to the TV or otherwise I lose my satellite signal.
It's weird, I cannot figure the the skart lead effects sat signal strength.
