    Astra 2d in Sweden

    Hi TM, Which hd digibox are you using? I am also in Stockholm and have a 1.1M dish and a Pace 2600C1. I am surprised that there are new boxes that will work reliably (signal wise) with such a small dish. Cheers.

    Installer required for Stockholm Sweden

    Hello. I used a company called Electro-Ton (_http://www.electro-ton.se/). They charged 1300 SEK per hour but did an excellent job. I get BBC1/2/3/4 perfectly except just before it's about to rain and then I loose the signal for a few minutes.

    Sky, Freeview and a Windows Media Center

    Hi all. I've just purchased a media center PC running Windows Vista Home Premium. The box has a hybrid TV card in it which I've successfully used with both my Sky box (via S-Video) and the DVB-T feed from my aerial (obviously not at the same time). My plan is to add a 2nd TV card (either...

    Why does rain and snow affect signal

    Sorry if this is really a stupid question but why exactly does heavy rain and snow affect the signal from a satellite. Is it the actual cloud blocking the signal or is it rain on the dish / LNB making is harder to process the signal. :confused: UPDATE: Sorry, should have done a search first. I...

    Best Digiboxes for Fringe reception

    I'll 2nd that. I bought a 2600 on eBay and the software is stuck at 3.2.11 despite several forced upgrade attempts. I would have gone for DS430N had I researched it properly. I'm on a sidelobe here in Stockholm so I get really good 2d strength. I'm sure the 430 would perform just as well for me.

    But I've done a software upgrade, is that the same as the firmware you're talking about?

    Strange Sky EPG behaviour

    I am experiencing strange behaviour with the Sky EPG. I purchased the receiver from eBay, it came with a Sky card. Got my dish put up yesterday by professional installers, damn good job done. Perfect reception on all 2d horizontals and all 2A/b transponders. The problem I have is that the EPG...

    It's a wooden 1 story house with a part exposed basement. The back of the house faces south and there the basement is about 25% exposed.

    Newbie> Dish and LNB match help

    OK, I did a search as told and to be honest I'm not that much wiser. Some people are slagging off Gibertini and also saying it doesn't match with an Invacom LNB (something to do with f/d). I am a complete novice at this and didn't know what a LNB was a couple of days ago. Let me rephrase the...

    Newbie> Dish and LNB match help

    Hello. I am planning to pair a Gibertini 120 with a Invacom Twin LNB in a 2d fringe area (Stockholm). My question is, is it better to get the Invacom with integrated feedhorn (TWH-031) or the one without (TWF-031). If the one without feedhorn is better which feedhorn should I use? Does one come...
