YES, you're absolutely right - I should have thought of this :-ohcrap Its the simple but effective tactics you miss when you think about something for too long/too hard. Job for next weekend depending if the white stuffs gone - with one dish to worry about I'll have a 1 in 8 I pick the right one...

Hi Guys, I have a problem and wonder if anyone can help by providing a solution how to resolve it... Background: My mum lives in a council block which now is unfortunately managed by a Housing @ss. Her dish was installed above her flat on a flat roof with single downlink cable coming through...

Hi Guys, Background; We live in a block of 24 flats and had a flat roof on which was our dish amoungst others. The roof was replaced and all dishes were moved by an installer to the lift tower wall, cables were extended and still ran across the roof. New roof was built on top of flat roof and...

Hi Guys, Last week we had a passing thunderstorm which I believe produced a lightning strike on our block or the next building. All the satellite dishes are mounted on a small flat roof in a cluster fairly snuggly together. Apparently all the sky dishes lost reception and a few sky+ boxes...

Thats what I thought, but at the time I think the regs stated only if there aren't more than 2 dishes already on the building. I did argue with the planning department but in the end they won and had £135 off me Humping Between you and me (and everyone else on the internet) I'm definately going...

Good point which I never considered. Luckily that lift hasn't been used for a number of years as we have 2 lifts in the building, BUT someone did mention it may be refurbished at some point before the current lift reaches the end of its useful life... :confused: Anyway, over a cool glass of...

Hi guys, Years ago I bought a Matrix CAM with my first digital receiver. Never actually used it then I bought a CAS 2 programmer, never really used that either. So is there anything I can use my Matrix cam on these days? Thanks, Mark.

Hi guys, I wonder if you can help. Walking around my area (Islington North London) I've now seen 4 satellite dishes with what seems to be a motorised LNB arm. Let me describe further; The dish itself seems to be fixed position. The LNB arm seems to have a mechanism underneath which looks like...

Hi, I have bought a CAS interface 2 and installed the CAS Studio 6 software. Can anyone give me any pointers what I need to do now to repair my matrix cam? Regards, Mark.

HI, Rolf thanks for your reply. I am located in North London.

Hi GUys, I have a Matrix cam from when they first came out which appears to dead after loading the bad penta 1.11 on it. What can I do with it? Can it be rescued/reprogrammed with a CAS interface? Does anyone offer this service? Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Mark.
