    BBC radio

    My memory - fair chance it's wrong. My 1990s dish was aimed at the original Sky satellite, which was at 19°e. At the time I got the very few Sky channels that were broadcasting, and various other early satellite offerings from 19°e - a few years before I got a motorised dish. I remember MTV...

    Pairing an existing card to a new SKY+ box

    Wanted 1m Dish

    I have a old Lenson Heath 1m dish in my garage + pole mount. I had it in south of France for five years, and it worked well. Moved out (Lockdown woes) and brought back the dish, to use in another French house. But that might not happen now. Actual sizes - horizontal 100.4 cm - vertical...

    Sold For Sale Echostar AD-3000 IP Viaccess

    £20 + £5 postage. Should have sold this years ago, but held on to it in case the positioner functions might have come in useful. Never needed as my vBoxes are still working (just!). Will hand deliver for free if local to NW London (M25).

    I have european beam but not UK beam ?

    Was able to test today, and I can get this transponder in the nothern French Alps. But it is definitely lower power than other lower power transponders on 28°e - shows 8.3dB vs 10.1dB on the the other lower power transponders (enigma2 box). Getting relatively stable video with only a few...

    Does Sky+ HD SCR mode work with Unitron dCSS-422?

    I can't help on your specific question, but let me tell you my experience. As you know, if you access the Sky HD Box Engineer menu you can change the LNB type from a standard LNB to SCR Band LNB. This implies that you can input an output from a SCR LNB into the Sky HD box. I bought a cheap...

    Advice Needed Can anyone identify this motor...

    I have a similar motor - it was sold as a "Jaeger SMR 128 H-H motor". There seem to be various designs for the stub pole at the top. I can only tell you that my motor has performed well in the past five years (now dismantled) with a (heavy) 1 metre dish. There is some play in the bearings...
