    Is it me or is it getting worse?

    In which case you may not be suprised to hear that a souped up variant of Betamax called Betacam has been the workhorse of the broadcast industry for years. Most SD TV nowadays is produced onto a digital variant called DigiBeta.

    Dish alignment from 28E to 13E

    Ok... You'll find it works better with the F connector attached to the cable. Unlike most connectors, the cable's centre conductor becomes the centre pin of the connector, and the connector is really just a ring with a screw thread on it. From that photo there seems to be very little braid left...

    Batten Down The Hatches 2010/11

    Here in York the city centre is ice free, but on the edges there's a LOT of ice -the snow from last week didn't melt, it just became rough ice until yesterday when it started to melt, at which point there was a layer of water on ice and it was insanely slippery, then now that water's frozen on...

    send socket error

    Well if your pc and router are on 192.168.2.0/24 then the dreambox being on 10.0.0.97 won't work without manual route table fun... If it's getting 10.0.0.97 from DHCP then something's wrong... Most likely thing though is that the dreambox isn't getting DHCP. Does your pc use DHCP?

    Schematic For Echostar AD3000ip Power Supply

    My first setup

    geostationary satellites are a supprising distance from earth (35,786 km) , and the 10-12GHz signals can get weakened at night - it's not that much, but if the signal is a bit on the weak side anyway it can be enough to send it over the edge.

    Just can't get Hotbird!

    Don't forget that it's a few degrees round the equator, the actual dish angle difference is much smaller... Hotbird's just about the most powerful signal in that area of the sky so keep moving round until you have the strongest signal you can get, and it's either 19.2 astra or 13E hotbird...
