[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1080448, member: 175144"] I had a callout this weekend, a Freesat system that had died, completely. No signal at all on the analyser suggesting only the twin cable or the LNB was at fault. Onto the roof to be greeted with a Zone 1 dish where the previous 'installer' had failed to put the sleeve in the down position. Cutting back the cables, and replacing the LNB restored the signal, but no amount of decent force on the F -plugs that have welded themselves onto the threads will remove them. I'll soak in some penetrating fluid later, but rainwater and electrolysis has done its thing. [ATTACH type="full"]127520[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]127521[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
