[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 52406, member: 175144"] Is retirement really that boring (at 40 ) ? Really the best way to learn is by trial and error. Technical help for satellite is free on the Net so its worth searching for the forums and telecoms listings (nothing will be as good as this forum though ) :cool: . Some of the maths / physics sites will lead you to the formulae for checking parabolas, signal strengths, and cable losses. Buy a book on the subject , Digital Satellite by Baylin Press is full of useful stuff for beginners, or for the indoor kit something like this [url]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6911646462&sspagename=STRK%3AMEUS%3AIT&rd=1[/url] Bung the bloke at the local tip a couple of quid for a biggish , ropey looking dish, straighten it out as best you can , get a meter that is within your budget, and see just how much you can pick up once you have tweaked the system. Just dont climb about on roofs for any spanner monkey as a way of hands on knowledge, it can hurt. [/QUOTE]
