yeh i like the TK brackets, i will get them, but if im going to fork out another £350 to have the dish re-installed i would like to upgrade the dish or LNB also to make it worth while.

Yeh its a little flimsey, standing underneath earlier i can see it flexing in the wind, I think ill go with your advice and get a steel one, i like the idea of a transparent dish were are they from? Also i need to start looking at CAMS so i can get some good channels. Pictures are a bit big, i...

And yes im going to call the installer and tell him !!

its a 50mm alloy pole, but it was the plate that bolts to the wall which had buckled, it only looks to be 2mm thick and just pushing lightly on the pole you can see the plate flex. So i may get it changed for a steel one and up-grade to a 1.2m dish now the law has changed, What will i gain in...

First i would like to say a big thanks to Rolfw, Now i will try and explain what seems to have happened. When up on the ladder to try Rolfw's advice, i noticed 2 of the cable tacks had pulled away from the wall, after investigating & moving the dish east it seems the coax lead is too short...

Right, this is crazy and you will see why im pulling my hair out. I have switched back to my tecnomate now, and it was the same as before and the s*y+ box, BUT it has just stoped raining and the sun is starting to come out and hey !!! i now have BBC1, ITV2, ITV4 etc... perfect picture. So it...

OK, Ive plugged my ariel coax lead into my old S*Y+ box and its the same, No BBC1 in the rain, and no ITV2, ITV4, Channel U etc....just keeps sticking and clicking the picture. The S*Y+ box says good signal (over half way) and locked in the menu.

Thought i had cracked it, But it seems i have not. On 28.2E most of the TPs have 62% x 60% all but the odd 3, if i use one of the low signal TP's and move the dish east or west i can get a good 55% signal but then lose the picture on all the channels? seems i can only search for channels on TP...

OK, After looking at www.lyngsat.com it would seem all the channels giving me the problem are on Eurobird1, now my sytem only pre-set scaned for channels on 28.2E even though it has picked up all the eurobird1 channels. So im i right saying i could be 'in between' 28.2 & 28.5

Hi, Yes it it USALS with gotoX, Now ive done what you said and i now have all the channels listed on 19.2E, 28.2E & 28.5 (although i never searched 28.5???). but i still have this sticking picture that follows with a 'click' sound on some channels? mostly ITV2, ITV4, chart show, extreme...

Now im lost then? the reciver has all the sats pre-programmed in, all i do is more the dish east or west till i get the best signal then press channel search, it says searching Astra1B 19.2E, i was sure it gave me ITV2 & ITV4 up untill 6pm? Also if i keep the dish moving a little further west...

28.2E? im on 19.2E, the signal strenth is 68% & quality is 70% all day, then around 6pm EVERY night it drops to signal strenth 68% & quality 13% (it constantly flicks up and down) which means i lose the above said channels? I have tried 28.2E but couldnt get all the FTA s*y channels? P.S the...

I have a tecnomate TM8000 with a 80cm motorised dish, now i can get all the FTA s*y channels no problem up untill around 6pm? then channels like ITV2, ITV4 channel 'U', the hits, horror channel and a few others just break up and become un watchable, it seems to do it every night after 6pm...

OK, So i can use my fathers sky box to update my SKY card? which will just give me astra FTA channels. (will this affect his card, he has SKY full package?) So to recive channels scrambled by viaccess or cryptoworks i need a separete card for each which fits into the same dragon CAM...
