Any way of getting english audio on megasport?

Thanks for the confirmation. Dunno why Cabo's on nilesat, have to double-check. Regarding the other sats, could I pick up 58W or 60E? There's another pic attached to give you an idea of dish size and relative line of sight.

Apologies in advance for the following long post, here are my results: Turksat 42 E: Strength - 85% Quality - 2% :eek: Most channels are available. Helias 39E: Strength - 97% Quality - 75% Most channels are available. Astra 28E: Strength - 97% Quality - 74% Almost all channels. (I...

Okay, the thing is finally up, but I'm not getting as many channels as I thought I would. :confused: On some sats, I get one or two channels, and lots of them are blank. Would a rescan be helpful (as these sats were already on a channel list I d/l'ed), or perhaps some adjustments using the...

Okay, got my scaffold pole, got my 16" T&K brackets, only thing missing now are the bolts to fix the brackets to the wall. I was thinking of getting 8mm by 70mm coach screws- are these strong enough to hold a 1 metre dish + 1.5 metre pole + motor? And what wall plugs do I need?

Hey guys I've been busy and not had a chance to do the installation (any day now :P), but I was wondering if any special kind of scaffold pole was needed? ie a non-rusting, or galvanized pole or something? Or will any old scaffold do? (I dont want my pole to become rusted after months of rain...

So if I mounted it at the end of the extension, I probably wouldn't get anything past 30W? :(

Do you think it would be possible to mount the dish and pole on the end of my extension? Obviously the pole would be tall enough to ensure that the dish wouldn't hit the extension roof when it rotated. The problem is that the roof of the house would block the signals when it swung around. Have a...

Yeah it does, apparently, it's a "geotrack/superjack 120 H-H" motor. Here's a pic so you can see it.

How about the motor? Is a Geotrack 120H = Moteck 2100a, or is it better or worse?

Okay got my motorized setup delivered today. However, a moteck 2100a motor was advertised, and instead I got a Geotrack 120 H-H, supporting Diseqc 1.2 and goto-to-X, but not USALS. Are these the same motor, or have I just been fleeced??? :( EDIT: I've discovered that goto-to-x and USALS are...

I'm thinking I need to go back to school, seeing as I can't read a compass right :o Using the photo a guide, a compass reading says that the wall the dish is mounted on is facing west, to the right of the pic is south, left is north, and facing away from the wall is east?! I thought that...

Thanks for your artistic input, Lancelot! O-Ha When you say i have a "chance" to get Thor 1W, I thought if I had a clear line of sight to the sat, then it was guaranteed to get a signal. Appreciate the quick response people, and thankfully it looks like I haven't purchased a redundant motorized...

You would think I would mention the dish size :-DOH2 It's 90cm diameter, and as far as the distance from the wall, when I recieve the dish + motor in the post, i'll tell you. :-DOH! But from the picture, the mounting pole looks like it's between 3-5 inches (Those steel ones, which appear to be...

I'm about to put up an dish + motor, but I was wondering if I would be able to pick the sats from 1W to 45E. I've attached a picture of where I want to mount the dish and motor, but I fear that my neighbours house will obstruct the view (my house is on the left). I plan to put the dish next to...
