Hi, I have not fitted these before hence my beginners question. I have 2 WF100 cables going to a TRIAX or Labgear Quadruplex wall outlets. Inside the socket there is a shielded box with a twin screw down cable clamp. Removing the clamp reveals 2 tiny holes for inserting the inner conductors...

you mean the azimuth quoted on dish pointer may be slightly off? How much can it vary in practice? or is it the difference to do with the tollerance of a compass? I caculated the angles using a photo from google maps and a geometry set having measured the position of the lamp post with a tape...

Hi, I wish to install a triax td88 dish (90cm) with 2 quattro lnbs (inverto ultra). 1 to pick up astra 4a at 175 degrees (azimuth) and the other lnb for hotbird 13 at 166 degrees (azimuth). The Astra 4a signal is very weak where I live (east anglia) but the hotbird signal is good. The...

I am a novice, this is my first satellite system so I do not understand all the terminology. Please can someone explain what is meant by "line powered" and what is a typical application/system this is used in. I thought it meant that there was no need for a separate power supply and that it...

I just got a second hand vision v9 912 multiswitch for my multi receiver distribution project _www.vision-products.co.uk/assets/products/datasheets/V9-916.pdf. I understand that it can be powered by the connected receivers. I understand that the power input to the multiswitch is used to also...

Thanks for your replies. I think the 4lnb cables could be attached to the dish arm with cable ties? Thanks for the suggestion about the wall plugs. I never knew such things existed. Much easier than an ugly cable tray.

Hi, I plan to have a dish with 2 quattrolnbs half way up the side of my house. There will be 8 cables in total. The cables will need to run about 2 or 3 meters up the wall into the loft. What is the best way to do this? So far my options are: A: use cable clips nailed into mortar for...

I am in a similar position. I need a multiswitch to send a signal round my house but from looking at the vision brochure it says that not all outputs are the same and that they feature "fixed slope pre-emphasis". What does that mean? In my system the longest cable run is only about 9 meters...

Thanks all for your replies. I feel more reassured that I don't need a huge dish. Now I must select my other components...

Thanks for your quick answer. I'm not looking to get any Nordic channels, only LTV World. I guess the TD78 is classed as an 80cm dish? I had read that 80cm dishes were ok but also that there could be some loss from the multiswitch. I think I will go with the TD78 rather than the TD88 as it...

Hi, this is my first system so I am new to all this. I have spent a lot of time but have not got a definitive answer on whether the TD78 is big enough for my proposed system. I plan to set up the dish with the triax multi-lnb attachment with the dish/lnb1 centred on the sirius/astra 5e with...

Thanks very much, your suggestions are really helpfull. I'm sure one of them will do the job.

There is one made by Labgear I am considering. The cables actually drop down inside the cavity wall and come out straight through the wall near the top of the 35mm deep recess so it would need to be bent down and then up again. You say that the front part (where the connectors are) can be...

Hello, There is 2XCF100 coax cable to several rooms in my house. In some of the rooms the cable comes up from under the floor but in others, it runs down the wall. The quadraplex outlets I have seen so far are bottom entry only(ooh err!). The only way the cables will go in is if you put...
