Hi Wod That old bracket to the left looks lonely, a brace the centre of your pole would really stiffen the setup. Hope you don't mind my five eggs?? Chris

Wod Neighbour got uptight when I removed my rotten fence of 20+ years, as I said with the intention of replacing same. The dish is now in full view to him. The ST550 runs the Nokia/Moteck dish. V-Box runs the big green dish, used to have a Uniden controller, but it had limited positions, did'nt...

Yes dish bracket is home brew, will post close up pix, and specs if required. Chris

Thanks for the comment Crossbones, get enough stick from wife and daughter about my untidy corner in the lounge. Chris

Re my setup in Bembridge, IOWight Lucky to have a South facing wall, neighbours house is far enough away to pose no problems, nothing visible from road. Neighbour recently complained, when I took the fence down with the intention of replacing it, visit from planning inspector followed. Nice chap...

Thanks for the replies, think I'm going to go down the route of one LCD monitor or TV, local PC shop can supply 27inch monitor with scart connection. bit worried about the image quality after my Mitsibushi Dia.Plus 200. Chris

HI I’ve got a Manhattan Plaza ST550, runs OK through a small TV, also got a Mitsibushi Diamond Plus 200 PC Monitor, with 2 D-Subs on the back. Plaza RS 232 only appears to be for downloads from PC. Would really like to pipe the Plaza Signal into the PC Monitor, can anybody come up with a...

It may be useful to know about the four year rule, I have four dishes in my secluded back garden, a neighbour decided after a fence dispute to call in the planning enforcement officer, a very nice officer told me that if I could prove they had been in place for more than four years, then they...

Hi Rolf Thanks for the prompt reply, I thought I could bypass the scan by just inputting data, as I think I did with DVBViewer. When I first had DVBViewer I registered and downloaded a comprehensive manual, thanks again for your advice, I will persevere. Chris

Hi, When I try to enter a new channel, I enter freq. H or V and symbol rate, which I get from FeedHunters, I am then asked for SID TID and NIT, also I need to fill in the PID Table, the PID Table I can get from my Plaza on another dish. But this is a convoluted way of doing it, and I still don't...

Hi bronking, I re installed and checked boxes as you suggested, and IT WORKS, perhaps I missed them on first install, can't thank you enough, this is the first thing that has gone right today, software for controlling my camera was working the other day, today it dos'nt, pin bent in my...

Thanks bronking for the re-direction, I tried clicking on the file, and said yes, but I'm afraid it did'nt work for me! Chris.

Hi can anyone tell me why when I select a channel in ProgDVB I have to OK "ProgDVB Engine" dialog box that says "error Elecard_MPEG2_Video_Decoder not found" after OK channel comes up, the above filter appears to be in ProgDVB Filters. still getting to grips with this prog. but it seems very...

Hi, I painted mine with green undercoat (mat finish) some ten years ago, still OK, your location suggests lots of sun, hence gloss paintwould could focus sun on LNB, what about mat emulsion to blend with surroundings, you will be surprised how tough this paint is. Chris.

Thanks Stocksie for the reply, I think it is a combination of very long cable, and or Plaza that is giving me the problem, I see the thread regarding cable and Plaza's has popped up again on "Feedhunters" The dish motor works fine when connected to my Uniden UST771, but it has a limited number...
