Just noticed this thread, I've been registered for about a month but thought I'd stop by and say Hi :). I'm Sam from York and I'm looking at setting up a satellite TV system for the first time (as you may have gathered from my posts!). Not currently all that knowledgeable about satellite but...

I'm 19 so don't know if that makes me very young? We've never had anything satellite before, only cable so not really looked into satellite until very recently.

The first time I heard of the squarial was when someone posted a Tomorrow's World video on TV forum about it (around a month ago). Video - _http://www.youtube.com/watch?=2biNQbzu4cQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2biNQbzu4cQ Just starting with satellite I don't get why the Squarial didn't...

Thanks again for the advice that you've all given me, I've now ordered a sat finder and got the coax running behind the walls in the new extension. Now, this may sound like another silly question but the electrician said it was better the run the coax into an outlet before connecting it to the...

Just another quick question, would it be worth me running two wires when I set it up? Just wondered as it's going to run from the shed through conduit to our kitchen that's currently being rebuilt, obviously at the moment I can plan to still hide wires (should be finished end of May). Also...

Thanks for the help & links. The Dish Finder says the following: Dish Elevation:25.6° Azimuth: 155.4° LNB skew: -6.6° With it saying my dish will have to be pointing to the South East (same direction as the neighbors dish) to pickup Astra 1N which is good, as the side of or house faces...

Hi, I'm new to satellite & I'd like some advice please. Basically I want to be able to receive UK channels (BBC, ITV etc), BBC World News (Not sure whether you can actually get this in the UK) & RTL (Germany) for F1 (Someone on Money Saving Expert said that this is FTA), HD would be preferred...
