....At least I think so !! I called an engineer out as I'd had enough playing around. He replaced the LNB for a new one, and it worked great. (Even though sky worked Ok with this LNB) The LNB was a quad by 'Raven' which I got from ebay two years ago for less than £10 if I remember right. The...

Sorry, forgot to say. Tried every conceivable variation on entering postcode. With space, without, central london etc etc. I'd seen all this before on this forum !!

Thanks for your continued support. I very much appreciate this. Well, I know the setup works fine on sky, beacuse we have a sky box (we used this before purchasing the Foxsat). No probs whatsoever. Humax said the dish can be just millimetres out ( a different satellite from sky to the Freesat...

I replaced the LNB 3 years ago. It's a quad LNB I purchased from Ebay !!O-no Didn't spend a fortune on it. Can't remember exactly what it was now. Never had any trouble with Sky TV with setup though. And it does seem to be finding a hell of a diverse set of channels from across the UK. And BBC...

Hello all. I've recently purchased a Humax Foxsat Freesat STB. Got it working - but only on MANUAL tune. Picks up 100's of channels including BBC HD. But NO ITV HD (when on air!) Also the old problem where it won't accept the postcode. Or any other UK postcode for that matter. (Yep I've trolled...

Thanks Rolf. Message received...but what do you mean by 'toggle the sound console?' Is this in 'Control Panel?' Sorry to be dense but I'm a real novice in case you haven't guessed! Thanks Rob

Hi folks, I want to watch Sky TV on my PC. I've got ATI all in wonder 9800 graphics card and lots of leads! I've connected the digibox to the PC with the 'phono' lead and the picture is fine. But there's no sound!!! :-DOH2 There was previously sound, months ago, but it's gone. I've no...

hi, thanks for this. I have tried that set up, the Rf 'out' on digibox is a male type, and my co-ax is male to male as usual so I can't connect. I've got a female connection from digibox, but that says 'aeriel in' so probably no good. When I connect to this theres a slight picture but nothing...

Hi guys, In the past I've had some excellent advice from you lot. I want to watch SKY on my PC so I don't have to watch Big Brother with the Mrs. Surely you can see my point? So I took your advice, I swapped the LNB for a quad version. Fitted it, ran a cable to my PC. I've now purchased a...

OK, I took your advice. I've bought a quad LNB made by 'Raven' . However the picture is not QUITE as good as with the old single LNB. Is this normal. Before it was perfect, now there's a slight 'grain' (stripes) on the picture. Dish has been adjusted and adjusted!

Hi. Simple question. Does anyone know how to record different channels from sky? Is it possible if, say, I go on holiday. (All channels come from the single menu on the tuner) Thanks Robert

thanks for help...l. Just a couple of snags though...firstly I definitely want to watch a different channel to what the Mrs. is watching(this is the main reason for wanting it) and also, I don't actually subscribe to sky - just use dish and box for the crystal clear reception. The reception with...

Hi folks. I run a ATI All in wonder 9800 video card on my PC. Separately, I have a satellite dish and box - as the aerial reception where I live is terrible. How do I connect a sky signal to my PC? Do I need another dish, or can I connect another box to the dish? I want to watch different stuff...
