Who needs multivision, they seem to cater for all tastes on Hispasat. I was channel hopping last night and came across (no pun intended ! ) a channel with the ident of Max Local. It was a bit of an eye opener to see a young lady "having a special cuddle" * with a horse. --- Deleted --- My mate...

I tried an update, but it said 'No Update Available'. I thought i'd try something else, I deleted that transponder, turned the power off for a few minutes and then set up the transponder manually (inserting my own PID settings). It found the CNN feed with sound and stored it as it should. I...

I have a problem with my Comag SL55. I have found a CNN feed by entering the settings (12522, H, 19125, and 2/3) all correctly. Bird is 15 west The Video PID, Audio PID, PCR PID and TTX PID all set themselves up. VPID 257 APID 263 PCRPID 8190 TTXPID 8191 The picture is brilliant, but I...

The satellite required for an update is Astra1 19.2E. This can be done automatically using an option in the menu system, assuming you are motorised or on Astra1. My software version is 2.1.4 and I tried an upgrade on Sunday but it said there wasn't an update released yet. The latest one...

I also know a satellite company locally who bought a boxful of lnb's from Lidl @ £3.99 each and is now reselling them at ten quid each !!

The lnb's from Lidl (£3.99) are universal. The sat finder i bought from Lidl has five red lights, that light up as the signal gets stronger along with an audible beep (which sent my dogs loopy at the bottom of my ladder) and a sensitivity dial (attenuator ??) As I said in an earlier post, when...

I finally have pictures. :D :D :D I'm like a dog with two d***s I started from scratch and lined it all up again using a compass and mounted the motor on the pole at 51 deg as shown in my manual. The problem was that the manual showed a conversion chart that said if my latitude was 51 deg then...

The day is getting on, but I'm off for another bash. :confused: Thanks Rolfw, for the advice, I notice that Simba27 also said to leave the motor out while I'm using the meter to line up. The neighbours all think I'm mad, but I know who'll be laughing last. P.S. I'm located almost directly on...

Well I still haven't had any sign of picking up a signal from anywhere. I made a slight adjustment to line it all up with the sun at 1pm, and then tried again with USALS. That's it I've had enough, 2 and a half days up a ladder and nothing to show for it. I'm ripping the whole lot down...

I bought the cheap receiver (SL55), dish, lmb and satmeter from Lidl last week. I swapped my $kybox with the sl55 to check it worked, it did fine. (then swapped back) I used the satmeter on existing $ky setup to see if that worked, but it only just managed a beep and two lights, so obviously...

I'm a noobie, and came to this forum with lots of questions. I have read a lot of threads that have answered them, but want to learn more. I came across a site that had a very good tutorial for anyone wanting to learn more. It gave me the basics (that I understood) and a lot of technical stuff...

Further to my earlier post about unknown channels showing mature content. It is definately Multivision from Hotbird. I bought a FTA box from Lidl and am installing an 80cm dish mounted on a Moteck sg-2100 so I should be able to 'scan the sky' for free channels. I have checked with my friend, and he...

I read a thread last week about an offer at Lidl, as this looked like a cheap receiver for a noobie to 'play' with. I'd heard that they normally only have a few, so be there early to beat the rush. I am no good at waking to an alarm so i thought 'I'll stay up on my computer all night' so I'm...

Thanks for that, XXL and Multivision both ring a bell. I was working on a villa for a friend and had satellite installed the day before I left, so didn't have long to play about with it. A decoder, two dishes and installation all for £275. Only receiving free channels and all that mature content on...

I have just returned from Turkey. At 23.00 each night 5 0r 6 channels show hardcore mature content and this was all for free !! During the day these channels show softcore mature content...yes ALL day. Most places have 2 dishes, 1 for Turksat and I'm sure I heard someone say the other was Hotbird. I can't remember...
