Thank you, very helpful. Now I can buy!

Sorry, still confused having spent the day trying to work out if my TV(Sony KLV-L32M1) is HDTV ready. It has a sticker saying it is, but I bought it 18 months ago, and it has component video sockets (Y, Pb and Pr) but no HDMI or DVI socket. If I buy the Humax HDTV box( or the Pace) and connect...

Thanks for your help-I`ll give it a go.

Thank you,when you say `keep the wiring separate`, do you mean install some form of switch so that only 1 positioner is connected to the motor at any one time? Or do you think that`s unnecessary? The problems which you rightly point out about positioners not knowing where the dish is I can cope...

I want to operate my 36V motor/actuator from room A and room B, not at he same time obviously. If I have a junction box into which go 2 sets of the 4 wires(1 set from each room/positioner) go, and out of which comes 1 set of 4 wires going to the motor, then a) will it work? B) will using room...

Have recently got a Star Trak 850E receiver and positioner to replace my Pace. The 4 leads used to go to motor(2), reed and ground on the Pace. On the Star Trak there is no reed socket. Does anyone know where this 4th lead goes? Thanks

You have to put the pids in to watch this channel - not at home now so can`t tell you them, but they`re on Lyngsat. If you don`t, you just get a blank screen

Thanks - when u say resetting, do u mean switch off and on? Certainly he`s tried that. Suppose it`s most likely to be a receiver problem and he might be better replacing it with a cheap one off Ebay. Just wondered if it could be the motor at the dish telling the Pace to change channel, or if...

My mate has a Pace 508 analogue receiver connected via 4 terminals to a H-H mount to move a 1m dish with a Humax 5300 looped to the Pace to watch digital. The dish has started to move spontaneusly, without anyone touching the Pace remote - The Pace will switch itself on from standby, go to a...

Yep checked that and the only pattern is that ALL signals are drastically reduced, equally so the only channels I`m left with are ones wiyh huge signals to start with. As you say it must be a signal problem and I should have said the problem only started after I`d fiddled with the elevation of...

Thanks Rolf - the LOF`s were set on the Skystar software at 9750 and 10600 with a switch at 11700 - would that be ok for universal lnb?(syntec 2000)

No just 1,a syntec dual output. 1 output goes straight to Skystar, but if I put this cable into my Humax, all channels are receivable,so that made me think it wasn`t a dish/lnb/cable problem

Had skystar 2 for 3 weeks- worked fine till yesterday- now signal is much reduced ie on Astra gets 8% signal on channels that last week got 50%, using same dish/lnb/cable. Same set up gets me full signal on other sat receiver. Result is that even strong signals on astra eg Eurosport are not...

Thanks CH Came back last night, went again this morning, now back again on a lower signal. Must be `technical problems`, as they say. Ckrys1
