Prior to getting the Satellite system installed, I was using a PC with a VPN to get UK TV. The quality was OK but it was a pain starting the PC and switching channels with KB and mouse , etc. I'm hoping that if and when FreeSat becomes unobtainable from Sweden then the IP based receivers have...

pls Gawd - don't force me to use a slingbox!

Hi All I am trying to get up to speed with the replacement of 2D with 1N. As far as I can ascertain, 1N will be replacing 2D at 28.2E next year. Is that correct? Will I still be able to receive UK FreeSat in Stockholm with a 1.2m Channel Master after this change over? Thanks in Advance!

Hi All I'm after a second Sat receiver for upstairs. I want to spend as little as possible and after having a hunt on t'internet, I came across this: _www.amazon.co.uk/Definition-Digital-Satellite-Express-Receiver/dp/B002GNLUOY/ref=pd_cp_computers_1_img Has anyone had any exp of these cards...

Yes - I thought that might be a good idea!

The install is only about 3 weeks old so it may just be that I need to tweak the dish a little. My knowledge is pretty limited in these matters but I've heard talk of Vertical & Horizontal transponders ; is there a site which lists which transponders BBC NI is on? thx Ciaran

I have a feeling that I start to loose the signal after around 18:00 CET. Although on other nights it is fine. Actually, come to think of it, it may be when it is rainy outside and we have a lot of cloud cover...or maybe a combination of both, ie. time and cloud cover?

Hi I am based in Stockholm, Sweden and I'm having a slight problem receiving BBC1 NI, BBC 2 NI, UTV and CBBC. Sometimes reception is fine and other times I can't get a signal at all. Is it just that I need to realign my dish?

Hi All I'm looking for a Channel Master Junction Block for my 1.2 Dish. Anyone know a shop that stocks them? Finally got around to unpacking my 1.2 Dish and there was no LNB Junction Block. Not a problem I thought as my brand new feedhorn will have one. Unpacked the box and there was no...

i picked the dish up on Friday and had to strap it to my roof. Took it really slow up the motorway :)

After talking to "The Government" it has now been decided that she doesn't want it in the garden and it is now to go on the side of the house :confused:

Hi All I am surveying possible sites at my home for my Channel Master 1.2 dish. The Dish needs to go the front of the house and I'm wondering if I could set it up in my garden, attached to a wooden garden post. I am thinking about a 6X6 pressure treated garden post cemented into the ground...

OK - roof it is. (oops - sorry for wrong forum post)

Would the above dish fit in the above car (the Estate version)?!? Or would I have to strap it to my roof bars :eek:?

Yeah, quite pleased with the progress I'm making (with a lot of help from this forum)!
