    picking up 4 satellites on one lnb ???

    And the chances are that you will not be able to view the "Ghost" channels on any of the sats your dish is not directly pointing at... my old Samsung does this trick just to try and kid me! :)

    Navigo?

    Recommended:- http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/satellite-navigation-gps/126554-reasonable-price-uk-satnav-europe-road-maps.html and menus are in English - worth a rummage on Ebuyer and PC Tailor forums. ;)

    A reasonable price UK SatNav with Europe road maps

    I'm happy with my Navigo widescreen from ebuyer - loads of support on ebuyer forum and others like PC Tailor - easy enough to "hack" - mine runs quite a few GPS progs - cheap and cheerful -well recommended! Recent models a bit more robust than the early ones but at the price I'm certainly not...

    SATLOOK Micro +

    Cant find anything on accessible torrent sites (and I have some reservations about the one that says it has it )- anyone had any luck yet? At the end of the day I suppose we can always go to emitor or one of the retail sites but at (?)99 euros this has to be a ripoff - especially when you...

    SATLOOK Micro +

    Thanks for the responses chaps! I am a bit of a dimbo when it comes to the techie side but I am relieved I didnt screw things up. I will indeed post if I drop across any unlocked f/w - or the means to unlock what we have got - nice to know we are not alone! :) ;)

    I've just upgraded Micro+ firmware with Micro G2 EU282 firmware and interrogation of menu shows it has taken OK. But I have not found the Spectrum display - does anyone know please if this is or is not available on the old Micro+ with the new firmware ? Unless I am going wrong somewhere it...

    Need a realighment...Manchester, what sort of price?

    What size ladder needed to reach it - and do you have one? (I guess you cant reach dish from window) - and roughly where in M/c are you - just in case a forum member is near enough to lend a hand - you never know!

    Need a realighment...Manchester, what sort of price?

    Where is dish situated, how accessible is it , i.e. how high etc. Some S*y installers are more knowledgeable than others - it would cost nothing to ask em if they could do a motorised (multisat) system and how much...you never know your luck!

    I have a wall for a dish

    If you wish to see Satellite elevation etc details to check your arc there are a number of utilities on line which will let you do this - one I have used is:- h_t_t_p://www.satsig.net/maps/satellite-tv-dish-pointing-uk-ireland.htm :) And if you want a simple diy inclinometer have a look...

    What do you do when you get a letter?

    Best way of stopping junk mail and saving a few forests is to register with MPS- the Mail Preference Service - it is free and takes 3-4 weeks to kick in I have also registered with TPS - Telephone Preference Service -and this cuts out the hard sell phone calls from Double Glazing Companies etc...

    Why were the first TV screens so small?

    And many enthusiasts built their own using War Surplus bits such as radar tubes - there were magazines such as Practical Television which gave pretty full instructions -and loads of shops selling surplus valve and electrical bits and even full kits. Costs for the most modest TV were horrendous -...
