Okey pokey, Finally had the time to have a fiddle.Moved the dish position to the other side of the house and.......BINGO!!!!! Got a good strength signal straight away :) From moving the position(drilling holes etc),setting up the dish to watching tv took about 5 mins!! The 45cm minidish is...

Well I've checked my reciever and it's fine:) The problem is....It's Summertime and the bleedin tree in front of my house has leaves on it affecting my signal..as bizzare as it sounds it would make sense as (the signal quality fluctuating so much) I've not had too much time to have a ganders...

Hi all, Well i've bought a new dish (60 cm with LNB and german Reciever to boot!) all for 60€, still having no joy getting Sky or even a signal!! I've remembered that I do know someone who also has Sky in this area so tomorrow morning I'm going to take my Sky Reciever to him to check it out on...

Big Phil for the city job..worth a bet ;)

The alignment seems fine, I just took out the cable at the back of the LNB to see if there was anything wrong with it,put it back and hey presto....nada !! The German tv is cable so I can't check it, I'll try a new LNB tomo then if nothing I'll get another dish, just hope it isnt anything to do...

Thanks Colin, I'll try this. As I say the quality of the signal changes so regularly its bizzare which does lead me to think its either the Lnb(just looked up what that is:)),connections or the cable itself. If it is the lnb can I just replace that with any old one?Does it need to be a...

:) I'm sorry P, I have no idea what your talking about? Channels in the same pol?Inb:confused: Sorry to come across as a fool,I just know how to set the thing up, last time I had it up and running in about 2 mins without sat finder. I'm beginning to wonder if the dish is for some unknown...

Hello all. Firstly I'd like to say what a great site. Right then, I have had Sky for several years over here with no real problems (the odd heavy storm has affected the quality of signal but thats about it.) 3 or so days ago I noticed that my signal quality and strengh had become...
