    Eurosport on 19e

    Sorry.Mine has always worked with my universal monbloc LNB. BTW....do you have a monobloc (19/13E)? Mine always defaults to the wrong setting, so I need hit the diseqc (toneburst) button to get a picture. Even when I put this in the memory, it doesn'tn remember (but only this channel). Daniel

    Eurosport on 19e

    I'm watching Tour de France on analogue now!!! Quite funny actually, as I haven't used my analogue box for ages- just as I fire it up a notification e-mail drops in from this thread!! Daniel

    Eurosport on 19e

    I noticed that mine was pretuned and only had English language for Eurosport. To be honest, I find the setup systep a bit confusing, because there is no OSD. I have a monobloc LNB and I always need to hit the toneburst button three times before I get Europsort up. I tried saving the settings...

    Eurosport on 19e

    Don't bother with eBay- you can get a brand new Metronic analogue "original" box for £23! _http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/236264/art/metronic/analogue-demodulator-orig.html Does a good job for me and also runs cool to boot. Even if Europsort only lasts a couple more years, this is value for...

    Metronic 'The Original Box'

    Got my box in today. Although its pretty basic, it does the job and isn't some overpriced dusty relic. The picture is miles better than I thought it would be too. The only issue is that I seem to need to hit the "toneburst" button a couple of times to make it lock on the channel when I change...

    Metronic 'The Original Box'

    To be honest, hearing foreign languages is one of the main reasons why I got myself a 13E / 19.2E setup. Probably a very good way to learn- I am glued to Arte. My three year old also enjoys cartoons in French, German and Italian- catch 'em early, I say. The other reason is that I hate the Sky...

    Metronic 'The Original Box'

    Sorry, couldn't resist (I can just about manage French; my translation is slightly above babelfish!)- The DiSEqC tone burst function permits the connection of two LNBs to the IF IN input. For this, one must have a tone burst switch (ref 432507) if you have two LNB (via two dishes or two head...

    Metronic 'The Original Box'

    Great stuff....that's a yes then! The box I was watching on ebay just went for £30 + £10 p and p, so I will go for the new box for £23 + £6.95 p and p! I'm happy to pay a few quid for this jto cover me until they pull Eurosport. It should tide me over until I learn German properly, anyway...

    Metronic 'The Original Box'

    Hi, I've been doing a bit of research into analogue lately and feel that this Metronic original box is probably my best option (it seems to be better vfm than picking up an overpriced sh box off ebay). I'm after free English language Eurosport- I think that even if it only lasts for a couple of...
