Mine goes under the patio, and then under grass. Just make sure that you clear enough of the subbase under the slabs to ensure a clear channel for the cable so that you don't crush it, and it might also be an idea to put some warning tape on top to remind you where it is when you go planting...

I had problems with http://www.rh-sat.de as well. Ordered a 23mm LNB from them and a 40mm arrived. On contacting them was told to return the wrong one, and the correct one would be sent. Nothing arrived. I gave them numerous emails then a final warning to reply otherwise I'd contact my card...

Considering that Celtic & Rangers receive somewhere about £25m/pa less from TV revenues than their EPL cousins, thats extremely good going.

I'm working on the assumption that the all in one 23mm MTI lnb is sufficiently new enough compared to the 10yr+ lnb/polariser/feedhorn/condensation setup I have now, that I will notice a significant improvement. If I don't, well, it's cheap enough not to worry too much and I can then go for the...

Thanks. Looks like my days of going out and thrashing my LNB like Basil Fawlty are coming to an end. :)

Yep. Thats what was confusing me when looking to replace what I've got. There doesn't seem to be a many about. You wouldn't happen to know if an MTI lnb would focus ok with this dish? for example, this one

Thanks for that. It saves me tying myself in knots trying to find a lnb/polorisor/feedhorn replacement.

M1JWR That sounds like exactly the same setup, and it's good to know I'm not the only one with damp inside the lnb. One question on your new feedhorn/lnb. Have you ever missed the ability to manually adjust the skew? Or can you still? Channel Hopper. Thanks, but I''l investigate this option...

:) I knew this would happen, two posts and I'm out of my depth. I have no idea about WR75 flanges, or quattro lnbs. I'll look into it over the weekend though.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. The dish is an offset 1.2m E'star. The problem seems to be that the barrel of the feedhorn/polariser is corroded and leaks very slowly. Damp enters the assembly and a drip forms internally on the pin. So gradually over the space of a few days when its raining the signal...

Hi I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to renew some of my kit. At the moment I have an Echostar C120 LNB joined to a feedhorn with an inbuilt polarisor for skew adjustment. The feedhorn is one with a narrow barrel ?22mm, and all mounted on a 1.2m dish. Due to age &...
