If you hit problems getting it installed, as they are very tricky unless the guy knows what he's doing, try Merseysat.

another good meter is the Satcatcher, either the 2, manual programming, or 3, computer or manual. The 3 is an updated software version of that sold by Spaun, but about £150 cheaper. I've had one for 2 months and would not swap it, unless its for the spectrum, with color screen and full usals...

yes, retunes will be necessary, and some places, like off Winter Hill, will probably get 2 shifts before they're right!. try being a rigger and explaining that to someone who's just lost their channels, or worse, whose STB has not had its latest software download. Now there's REAL trouble.

Also, as the earth wobbles on its axis, day to night, the beams ebb and flow like the tides. We suffer on Astra in the Balearics with this effect.

Initial opinion, not too good, beware of kinks in CoAx cables - as your white one - it sets up standing waves which wipe out channels. Also, Try to retain the coaxiality of the wiring. Pigtails are bad unless the cable retains its circular cross section. Its all to do with the cable impedance...

I have been told by my Czech friends that there are now czech language programmes on 1west. Satcodx confirms this but my motor is playing up so I cannot confirm it. Anyone else tried this spot?

Just a thought.... usals usually has a facility to input the lat and long in the motor setup menu. I found my SAB, and later the Voyager 3, both went off the arc if i didn't input them as the receiver thought i was at its manufacturer's default location in Holland.

Some biig clubs can be up to UK£ 20K according to the ratesheet! The best rumour from the Northwest is that the Nove package, much more expensive, is more legal than Digialb, as its from an EU country.
