Stopped working.

I went to tweak the LNB and a spider did come out from the feed horn, it has been relocated and all is fine now..

Applying some grease or oil inside surface of the feed,keeps insects away and makes sure they dont nest in there to block the signal.

Clingfilm does not last long under Cypriot sun M8 ;)

I did mean protected, between the horn and flange. But I see where you are coming from .

A spider, nearly as good as the space ship, did he have hobnail boots on?

 

[simonskyman]

Was it the spider that was relocated? Where to?

 

[rolfw]

Probably one of the rare Black Feedhorn Spiders Will have migrated to next door's dish.

 

[Zorba]

Not incey wincey,that one.
You have now made me add one more on my check list,Rolfw.Check if there is an lnb in the spider.

 

[Robbiewright]

The spider was relocated to,,,,,,,,ummmmmmm, let's just say there is a chemical answer for every problem. A space ship came and took it away.

Sorry I took so long getting back to you, I was called away for work with on notice, I hope this info is not to late for you.

The box settings are the same as the U.K but you will need to get a bigger dish when you get here. the biggest you will find is a 2.4 prime. you wont get 2d (no BBC) and a few of the other channels but you still get enough to make it worth while.

Unless you can do it yous self, finding Astra could be a bit of a nightmare.
The dish dealers don't deal with any one who wants Astra and don't have much kit but it is possible.

Any thing else you want to know?

 

[alipik]

sorry

but may i ask if u need a special type of lnb?

 

[Robbiewright]

Not really, I am using a 3db at the moment,
