Hi Chaps These chanells are on Eurobird 1. Are we saying nobody watches them because we cant recieve them ? or that just there not deemed popular? Looking at the list of radio stations on them there is some real good stations. Capital Gold and Radio Caroline are channels that I would have hoped...

Hi Iceman. First time I have had a chance to thank you for meeting me in Kapparis. I am currently waiting for a quote for moving the two solar panels. I should have this on the 11th Aug so will be in touch then. Anyway I really want to get my head round something that is bugging me regarding...

You obviously live in or around Paralimni ??? This rumour has been doing the rounds for months. I have a 4.2 (Shared) and its does everything I need. The local Satellite installers dont wont you to have SKY becuase once its installed thats it in terms or revenue. If you install the Hotbird /...

You might think its tacky but I can assur you this is the best selling hub in the UK currently. And its is upgradable where many others are not. Dont be fooled by the looks. Its a nice bit of kit if you give it a chance. If not send it to me lol. Kind Regards Essex Boy.

Hi Daisyann. I know this very well. Looks a nice development. The shoe place is well cheap also. I am happy to continue this conversation offline rather than use the thread. If you want to chat I will mail you my mail address privately. Hope all goes well with the apartment and make sure you get...

Hi Iceman. Thanks for the reply. Yes all the 24 apartments are in one long block. Although I do not envisage everyone taking out the option. (See attachment) I am waiting for the building work to complete on my original property. Once I know when the work is programmed to complete I will return...

Hi Iceman. Having now agreed to remedy the issues with the 4.2 prime focus dish, How much difference would this make to the average signal? are we talking significant or minor. If significant is there a fix in place for those who purchased the earlier model ? I also need to ask you about the...

Hi Your on the right track. I am looking to do the same for our complex in Cyprus. I have added a URL which will help. I am not suggesting you buy from them, just hope it gives you some idea how its done and what's needed...

Daisyanne. Tell your developer to do what you ask for. Big Nick is spot on. The small minidish we have in this country would need to be enlarged throughout the UK should s*y drop the output. There is a lot of focus on dish sizes in the UK at present so again this is unlikley to happen. If we get...

Hi. I think even I can answer this one. First of all who is your developer ? I know most within Famagusta (South side) and many would not know this information if it walked past them in the street. This is a scam in the Paralimni area to get you to buy the showtime or Nova / Hotbird package. ...

Hi Iceman. I will add a amplifier in line as this can only improve the loss on the joint but do understand you can not boost what is not already there. If I got the owner to call you can an appointment be made ? I do not trust the installers I used before in Paralimni and feel I just want...

Hi Nick. The joint is approx 32 mtrs from the LNB. (Roughly central in the total length) Can you suggest the best in line amplifier to puchase? as there are many products to choose from and all claiming more gain than others. Also I need to point out that the main owner has only a 25mtr cable...

Hi Zorba / All The cable run is about 65 mtrs and I am using Satelllite coax. There is one joint on the route (No choice in this) but its using F Connectors. The original owner of the dish has a new Pace digi-box and he looses the same channels at the same time as me each day. Ch4 goes around...

Hi Nick / Iceman. As I am currently back in the UK (Or should I say sweltering UK lol!!!) I am not totally sure of the model number of my Digi box. I know its a PACE and is Silver and quite small compared to other boxes. I asked my cleaner to have a look and she said it was a pace DV9 ...

Iceman. Thanks for your superior knowledge. I guess the next question is can you do this rebuild if needed? Im sure if you saw this install you would know straight away what was needed. Would it be possible to arrange a vist at a time convienient to you ? I dont want to put you on the spot so if...
