Hi milestone, Theres a coincidence ! My skybox wouldn't talk to me yesterday after switching on; took ages to get it working; had to reboot using 12.129, that fixed it for me. I'm only 10 miles away from you; perhaps it was the storm upset the system? Anyway, back to normal now.

Zorba, Do you have any details on this " And now theres this internet box thingy" ? I've spent thousands of euros on con artists selling me bigger and better dishes that don't do what they tell me they'll do ; maybe time to go internet tv? Thanks

Excellent reply,woborny; thanks very much for the info. It all makes sense now.

I have a 1.2 metre dish and Pace 430n box, here in the Canaries. I have spent hours with a signal meter, tweaking left to right, up and down, and the lnb skew, to get the best possible signal. I receive Sky news, itv1, channel 5 etc. with my Sky card, no pixellation or dropouts, any time of day...

Thanks Simon How can I contact you, as email address has been removed I think

Thanks for all replies. Satelliteman, when you say is dish set up correctly, I thought if you got network of 0002(which I do), then it was setup OK;is it possible you could tell me what else to do, as each time I do a signal test on the Sky box( Services,4,6) it seems to show a different...

Does anyone know if this LNB can be used on a prime focus 3.1 metre dish? My existing 3 year old Invacom quad C120 lnb breaks up all the time here in Fuerteventura, and I read that this Black Ultra was very good. Has anyone actually used one on a prime focus dish? If so, any good? Thanks

You sure its not just your eyes playing up ?

Thanks for info birdbrain Us majoreros gotta stick together:D!

Hi, Can any of the Canary Islanders with a 3.1 metre dish confirm or deny reception of bbc1,2, itv etc. after 6:30 /7pm? My dish is now 3 years old, and I'm sure I used to get these channels OK at this time of year , but now they are unwatchable after the above times; but OK during the day. If...

Thanks for info, oh noble one; Can you fix it for me to get back the easy Channel 4, was TTon4? Thanks again, a pint if you do.:)
