I should add I havent used this dish in a while or the LNB so its been given away untested. I have no reason to believe it wont work however...

Hi, I'm wanting rid of my non-penetrating roof mount, 1 metre dish and LNB. Theres about £170 worth. Collection from North London zone 2. As its going for free I want no time wasters. You take it all, I want shot of it. As you can see its a four square non-pentratng roof mount but due to...

Hi guys, Can you guys give me opinion on this item form eBay... USB Digital Satellite DVB-S (eBay item 141039304112) Cheap sat card, I think if I get this and plug it into my Windows XP netbook I should be able to use that as a mechanism to align the dish using some I presume free software...

The non-pentrating is actually a four square style one but its too close to the wall when in that configuration, so I've done it as two square and just layed on the other side on top of the same side to give it a bit more weight. I have had this setup working fine, so its easy to access the dish...

I do have a 80cm dish as well. I've attached some pics of the setup I'm dealing with here. Notice the rather crude way the non-penetrating roof mount is positioned without sandbags / slabs... its alright I mean the mount itself is 20+kg and the dish is heavey so its not exactly blowing anywhere.

Yeah I used to do it myself a while back, I'd have someone shouting the percentages the dreambox was reading whilst I was out on the balcony making finite adjustments. The portable TV is a good idea, or better yet maybe a portable USB sat card for a laptop and I could have the laptop on the...

Hi, I have a 1 metre dish mounted on my terrace using a ground mount, it has a monobloc and all I want doing is the dish to be realigned to pick up Astra 19E and Hotbird 13E. As its a ground dish theres no drilling, no climbing ladders etc, should be a really easy job, 20 mins I would imagine...

The forum has removed your email. Can you edit your profile to enable PMs to be sent and Ill send you my contact details. Thanks.

Hmm I replied a few hours ago but it didn't seem to go through... I'll redo it. I'm in the zone 2, Islington / Camden area - I'll gladly be more precise via PM. As for landlords permission... I haven't asked. Saying this upon moving in there were already four holes in the wall for a sky mini...

Hi, Can someone quote me for a moterised dish install on a roof terrace. I have the dish already, along with cable, scaffold pole, lnb etc. Basically I'm wanting to connect this dish to the wall - previously I used it on a balcony with a drill free installation - but since moving flat I can no...

Hi, I'm looking to replace my Dreambox DM500S clone with something a bit more stable, the dreambox has been a bit of a pain from the moment I got it. I've heard the Vu+ Duo / Solo is very good. Are there clones of this box floating around that I need to avoid? Can anyone recormend a good UK...

Yes I would be interested in this. Can you give me some further information? Better yet a demo of the service?

Hi, Can anyone recormend any american TV slingbox hosting companies... a2btv: The customer services live chat doesn't seem to work anymore so I can't request a demo. I've already attempted to contact them but received no reply. fliptube: Contacted them so Im waiting on a reply in regards to...

Ive google about for a bit and theres various reports over the years of test cards being picked up etc, and also people slamming the idea saying the sats are below the horrizon. Out of interest thou who here thinks this would be possible if cost / clearance was no object, and the kit was...

Yeah I'm not sure the kerbstone approach will really work. Providing its safe I don't mind if its a botch job. The thing with the kerbstones is I live in London and don't drive. I don't fancy trying to get that amount of weight on and off the tube etc. Drill wise the only one I've got is a...
