    That dreaded rumour again!

    A Slingbox costs about £140.00. The UK version contains a freeview tuner. The Slingbox connects directly into the router which is accessed by a computer from a remote location. If you use a PVR in the uk, as I do, you can timeshift programs. It uses widescreen and othe screen formats. It doesn't...

    That dreaded rumour again!

    Get a Slinggbox. Watch all freeview channels through the internet. Pictures are already reasonable quality and when CYTA get their act together and increase download speeds from 1meg, you can stuff Murdoch like I have.The internet is the way forward for watching T.V. anyware in the world.

    phased arrays

    I think aluminium foil glued into the surface with fibre glass resin would do the trick. I was thinking of making a mould myself, but I need to find dish dimensions, namely, arc in relation to diameter and distance of lnb from the center. Derek

    2D in Cyprus - Frassle

    I have a TUDSB35 and a second hand TUDSB30. I know that there is a god like reverence for the 30 and I have read a bad write up for the 35 on digital spy, but I connected both to a twin output LNB and found the 35 much better. I swapped the coaxial cables over with the same results. This is not...

    I am living in Protaras, Famagusta area of Cyprus and have an Anderson 2.7 offset dish with a.6 Cambridge LNB. I have tried a Genesis 3 which is not as good as the Cambridge. (expensive mistake) I cant get any 2D signals and ch4, Granada plus fade at night. My local suppliers tell me only a 3.8...
