Hi I pulled everything apart and then put it back together. There must have been a problem with the cable ends. Triming these off and refitting gave me a sign strength of 99%, a little tweaking of the dish alignment and i now have a great picture. Thanks for all the advice. Steve

Hi The old dish had a universal LNB on it but I bought a complete set up and first set it up with the new dish and new universial LNB. I aligned the dish by attaching it to the same stand and pointing it in roughly the same direction and elevation as the old one. As this didn't receive anything...

Hi As the Analogue eurosport internation was shut down I bought a Ross disk and decoder from B +Q. I have set it up and pointed it in the same direct as my old dish but i am not getting anything. When I scan for channels the highest signal i get is 40% (most are about 25%). I've tried both...

Thanks for the info. I was pretty sure that this was the case I thought that I had better check with an 'expert' at the Maplins online help desk before buying. I knew the broadcast was in German so I'll either be fluent in German sporting terms in no time or turn down the sound and watch it...

Hi I've been watching Eurosport International on Astra analogue 19.2 e for the past few years. As it's due to shut down at the end of the month I was looking for an alternative to watch Eurosport for free. I understand that there Eurosport is available on digital in German on Astra 1L 12226 H...

Just to let you know that I finally got it set up. The problem was with the Zenith angle. Various websites advised 27 degrees. I got a satellite signal finder for £15 from Maplins. Using this I found the signal with the dish at approximately 17 degrees. Looking forward to the Paris Roubaix.

Luke/ 2cvbloke thanks for getting back to me. i've tried the online translator but as you say it's not ideal. I found some info on the the oriention. I'm in Bristol Azimuth 157 degrees Zenith 27 degrees and LNB skew -7 degree. I've put the TV outside set up as above and tried adjusting. As yet...

Dear Luke, I've just bought the same kit also to watch cycling on Eurosport. Unfortunately my French isn't so good and I can't get it to work, I missed the Tour of Flanders yesterday. I've contacted pixmania and asked if they can send me an English PDF of the manual but in the mean time would...
