    i thought about that, but dont really need the twin tuner, i just got it for future proofing, so will stick with single lnb for the time being i doubt il record 2 different channels on say 13.0E something to think about though, might ask the fitter to run 2 cables just incase.

    Crimped F-Types - do they still need to be wrapped in amalgamating tape?

    hi guys do these crimped F-Types need to be wrapped in amalgamating tape still? i have the crimp tool attached, so thought i may as well buy some crimped f-types for it. Will be using WF100 cable. silly question i know but just want to make sure. Thanks

    been doing another search today and it may look like i need to up my budget for the Penta dish as no one hardly has any stock. I may have found one place that has 1 Red penta 85 in stock for £68 delivered This has now got me thinking, would it be worth paying a little bit more for a Gibertini...

    still waiting for a reply from MTD. I also emailed FR them selves to ask who their official resellers were. their online contact form doesnt work so had to google another email address for them.

    this certainly is more appealing as id rather have it in the back ive attached a pic of the back of house and a ghetto drawing of what i think you mean, would it still clear the roof and have sight for the satellites?
