Ah right, yes I saw the white box in your video and I wondered what it was, thanks. I didn't realise F splitters might do that so I'll have a look. (And check the capacitors in the receiver!)

I still have a squarial and Ferguson receiver which I bought for not much at a car boot sale years ago, and even that was long after BSB existed so it was just to have a look at one really. The receiver was just waiting for this it seems. Weird seeing these boxes and a dead system brought back...

A few years old? Cheats. Heh. Is this what you want? _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpmcAbIiblw Bongs and anthem start at about 3:45. I almost uploaded the exact same thing because my recording is from RT!

I thought at the time that the snow falling on Red Square kind of gave the game away that the anthem views weren't live! They must film them at 4am or something a day or two before? The first couple of years I saw it, when I knew no better, I thought they had actually made everyone leave the...

Well I'm gradually learning... things like Red Square being shown before midnight, not after, and the Azerbaijani and Kazakhstani presidents even earlier. Angela Merkel was on NDR just after 1905 too, but I only realised when I checked the recording so I only got the first few minutes... though...

Okay, thanks for that. It's definitely me then. Anderson and Kathy are fun anyway...

Mmph, I fail! What's the signal like for it on your system? Is it very weak or do I have some fiddling to do for next year?

Well the Father Ted repeats on C4 are coming in handy for waiting for New York.

Thanks... I'll know for next year then. It's always the one you haven't tried isn't it. The 1TV schedule did say he was meant to be on there at 23:55 though - apparently the channel on 13e is a Europe version so maybe it's different. :-thumbup Ha!

Does Mr Medvedev get shown anywhere other than RT? For the last couple of years I've expected RTR or 1TV to show it, but obviously they don't!

Are they doing 2012 as well? Thanks, might try to catch more of it this year! :-thumbup

Hi guys, I rarely have anything useful enough to say to pop my head up, but I'm looking forward to my fourth time with you (and DS) tonight. I take it waaaay to seriously, but I like to be organised... I'll save you my spreadsheet, hehe. Just a quick couple of thoughts, CNN's NY coverage starts...

Just wanted to say thanks for the help. The dish was going rusty in places so I took the chance to clean the whole thing up. I now have a TM 2600 and a newly painted black dish, all working fine. Yes, the old motor's USALS was obviously screwed, but at the time I didn't know if it was just me...

Okay, thanks for the recommendation, I reckon I'll just do that then. I thought one with metal gears would have cost a lot more than they do. So with USALS, you tell it your latitude/longitude, and it will calculate the angles of the satellites for your location. You then use the memory numbers...

Recently my motor has got more and more hit and miss about whether it will turn or not, and now it's stopped completely. I had a look inside and this is what I found (see attachment). Yes, that is a great big hole in the gear - eek! So, err, yeah... I think that might be the problem. It did at...
