This is a French version of what I think is the same motor badged by Metronic: http://warringtonbears.org.uk/temp/450908-Moteur.pdf And here's a short Jaeger installation sheet for the SMR-99G and SMO-99G: http://warringtonbears.org.uk/temp/SMR99G.pdf

The best cable? How about some RG11U such as Belden 7999AP. ;)

The idea is to generate lots of media coverage by, if at all possible, avoiding calling any 0870 numbers on that particular day. http://www.saynoto0870.com/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.cgi?num=1152133862 Sounds like a great idea to me. One day we'll kill off this legal scam. Remember, you can find many...

There's a load of info in _http://www.warringtonbears.org.uk/temp/sns.pdf that I found somewhere or other. Unfortunately, I can't find the original link again!

No, elements within B-Sky-B have not been kidnapping garden ornaments! Instead, they have just anounced a product that allows users to listen to any audio channel anywhere in the house using wireless technology. "SKY today announced the launch of the Sky Gnome, a pyramid-shaped device, which...

I can't remember if you're in the UK Teena, but if you are, and you're quite sure it is interference the you may consider contacting Ofcom: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/advice/ifv/interference/#content But watch for the £50 charge if it's your equipment!

I have a Metronic Diseqc motor. This is so similar to the Superjack SMR-99G that it must be made by Jaeger too. Yes, it is well made and very strong BUT the shaft that goes to the dish points upwards. This means that the dish (and all it's weight) ends up a long way from the pivot axis. After I...

With a dish that measures about 72cm located in Warrington I can get 82 TV and 50 radio channels from 42E - all FTA. Are you looking for any channels in particular?

My trick for this is to use chemical fixing bolts in the wall. With these, you effectively end up with studs sticking straight out of the bricks. Then use nuts on *both* sides of the brackets. The brackets are held away from the wall slightly but each mounting point is adjustable to any...

Let me pass on some experience with waterproof boxes. Part of my work involves the fitting of instrumentation and control equipment to piling rigs. This equipment is housed in waterproof boxes and is distributed about the rig. We were persistently having problems with water getting into the...

I would avoid the Metronic motor from CPC ;) http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=35239
