Was just looking at a New Zealand website called Trademe (equivalent of ebay) for the Mrs and came across this - http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Lis...spx?id=52360702 It turns out that the satellite that beams the programmes for NZs Sky TV has gone tits up so they cant get jack shit. (not...

The basic sky package is £20 (about28/29 euro) Sky sports world (same as family plus Sky Sports 1,2,3,xtra) is £33 (50 odd euro). Just need an ROI address to get the card. (and apply as though you were there)

Hi, Probably something simple but here goes - Whenever I have the Terrestrial TV aerial connected to the skybox my sky viewing becomes very fuzzy/snowy, so by disconnecting it from the box the picture becomes clear as a bell. What do I have to do to avoid disconnecting/reconnecting in order...

)(-red Hi, Can anyone give me any physical help with setting my system and dish up? I have a 1.6 metre motorised dish on a (heavy) tripod (LNB 0.7 C120 Universal), connected to a strong 4375. I checked the leads with a normal sky 28.2E dish and the channels come up A-OK. However using the...

Could you elaborate Rolfw please ?

The LNB is a universal C120.Ive fixed it into position The motorised dish does move !!!!! - I used it with the positioner that came with it. The dish is sat on a (heavy) tripod which hasnt been adjusted from its original state. I havent got a scooby doo what to do next.....................

Thanks for the above. I tried initially to put the wires in as suggested and when I tried to set east and west limits, the dish moved a notch one way, then the other and "Check dish actuator" keeps popping up on the screen. The Strong manual is rubbish btw - not very helpful...
