[QUOTE="Norm, post: 28415, member: 175218"] Channel Hopper - thanks for the offer. I had already ordered the feedhorn and LNB which arrived on Saturday and I fitted on Sunday morning. Unfortunately just after fitting, my receiver (BEC6800CIP) had a serious crash - lost everything, limits, satellite positions, everything. This receiver has had a history of rebooting and losing about half the stored channels (seriously annoying!) but this was the worst yet (I think it probably defaulted to factory settings). So Sunday afternoon was spent reinstating some of the data (a useful learning experience if nothing else) This receiver is now on its very last warning - Basil Fawlty thrashing coming up. Strangely, it seems to work a bit better (so maybe the bug which was causing the failures has irradicated itself somehow). I had never been able to figure how to add transponders for example (the manual is pretty basic anyway). I now know that the reason I couldn't add transponders was because the feature didn't work and it does now! Doh! The only thing that I tried with the new LNB and horn was whether I could get anything out of 4W. This was maybe a tad optimistic in the North end of Scotland (Aberdeen) and so it proved - nothing. Norm. [/QUOTE]
