hi I've not bothered inspecting the old cable as it works now but I'll examine it tonight and let you know. regards Paul

Hi Replaced the cable and the signal strength went up drastically - must have been something wrong with the cable. Setup instructions were not that well documented but eventually got it working. regards Paul

Hi Thanks for the advice - I didnt fit the dish myself but I'm happy to fiddle. On SKY I currently get all the RAI channels and Canale 5 -- the reason why I got the Tivusat box is to make the missus happy so she can continue watching centovetrine - I'll have a look again tonight - hopefully...

HI Yes -- sorry for the terminology - its not a SKY dish. Its a 78cm dish - standard installation (if there is one). How do you test moving the LNB or should that only be done by a technician? regards Paul

Hi thanks for the comments - The Sky Italia setup works well - ths dish is 70cm. Sorry but what do you mean by skew setup? regards Paul

Hi Denis Thanks for the reply. Yes the card has been activated in Italy . I was briefly checking the signal strength on the decoder last night and it was rather poor - around 28%. The cable from the LNB to the decoder is +- 15m. regards Paul

Hi I received my Humax decoder today from Italy (with smartcard). I have Sky setup and my dish is pointing to Hotbird 13 EST. Is it just a matter of plugging in the humax decoder and inserting the smartcard or is the setup not that east? regards Paul
