[QUOTE="MIsterKew, post: 107685, member: 192594"] I am currently trying to install a satellite set up on a shoe string in the south of Crete. I have blagged a 1.8 metre parabolic (centre feed?) dish and obtained a sky digibox from the UK.( with a blue sky card with the yellow house on it) I can get 100% on the signal strength meter in the recievers setup menu, but cannot get any signal quality at all. I have tried changing the default transponder from the north to south beam (and back again). I am not absolutely certain the the LNB is at the correct focal length, as the support arms were disconnected when the dish was blagged. I am trying to get Sky from Astra 2 at 28.2 - just to keep up with good ol blighty from time to time. Am i missing something totally straightforward, could it be a problem with the digibox? would pointing at the wrong satellite give me this result? wouldan incorrect focal length cause this? any hep or advice gratefully recieved....
