Any fool can suffer!!

I think the weather is trying to tell me something.... about 25cm of snow is probably enough to put me off playing with a satellite dish today..

You people are gold! Thanks for the tips, links and support! More feedback once I get stuck in, hopefully by Sunday.

Rusty, if I can figure out how the hell it works (the manual tells you all about its features, not HOW TO USE IT) I will report back. If I do figure it out, I will probably write a guide (although it will be in layman's terms, I am a total SatNovice). But if anyone else has tried to write a...

Just a quick update, WS-6916 has arrived. Work and weather permitting, I will be trying to sort it all out this weekend (and report progress if I do). Thanks again to all you contributors.

Thanks so much for these informative replies.... I think I'll be upping my budget and getting the 6916..... But will revisit both the comments here and the google reviews so I have a higher chance of making the right decision...

Just a quick update (as I said I would - I hate it when threads just dead end with no outcome), I got called away just before I got my teeth into the setup and have not been at home long enough to do it. However, whilst I was away I looked on a well known auction site and see that a Satlink...

Thanks A33, both for the info and the welcome! Sadly I don't have a handbook for the dish motor and (so far) haven't found one on line. I feel sure if I did, setting up the dish/motor angles here would be a lot easier (to understand). It's peeing down at the mo' so I've got the excuse that...

Thanks, again!

Cheers Mickha, much appreciate you taking time to help! I'm sure as you say, it will become easier, once I have grasped the basics but..... I'm not sure how I can read or 'check the channel frequencies' or what to do if I find the receiver is reporting one satellite (which I selected on the...

I have scanned the forum, but haven't found answers, so here goes. I’m a complete newby to Sat TV, but am usually capable with things technology, once I get through the sector-specific jargon. However, I’m struggling a bit with the setup of my dish/system. Any guidance will be much...
