I've got a PM on this. The writer refers to LOF Drift, is this what you meant by a problem with the LNB. He says 'LOF drift would act like a faulty diseqc switch but its the card not being able to lock the channel (off freq)'. Is this something an installer would be able to check for me?

Wow thats a positive answer. Thank You. There no way I'm going back up that ladder, so its a job for an installer once the weather improves.

When starting DVBDream (or ProgDVB) from cold I frequently find it wont startup, just when I need it. I get Zero in Level and Quality. I usually start on Eurosport, the last channel watched, on 19.2E and when I get this failure vPlug monitor shows Timeout -This PID is empty-Rescan. But I...

My neighbours twin cables looked slimmer than my cable. I'll check the number rolfw gave. If I can't pull the two cables thru then its a case of paying an installer to do the drilling.

Is it narrower than normal cable? Can I pull the older single cable out thru the hole in the wall and get two new cables back thru the same hole is what I'm asking.

No guidance yet from anyone and I see I've been moved to here. Got the recorder this morning, its setup as above, and I AM worried now. I'm working thru the actions in the guide and when logging in the available channels its only caught the old five terrestrial ones which I dont use. Its an...

No experience of these, its a Sony RHD-HX512S, and I believe I will need to login all my available channels. I've a 20in TV/VCR combi with one scart. My Comag digi sat has the incoming aerial, looped into the Pace analog. The two scarts from these boxes go into an either/or switched scart box...

Yes thanks, would that be a RS232 lead that I read here somewhere. I've got good news, I went for lunch with people from the church today and the guy who told me about the Lidl sale of the receiver was there and I now have his comag sl55 manual so I can see what scanning is all about...

Hello Gandalf Our friend Rolfw seems to know his stuff, but I dont understand what he means. On another post he invited me to do a blind scan and here he's suggesting reflashing the box, from what you say that may help me too. What do these terms mean please?

Blind Scan? No But I'll try if you give me a clue.

Germanlanguage Eurosport on Astra 1 has ceased on 11954.H.27500 and is now on 12226.H.27500 How do I change this in my receiver, Please. I have a Comag SL 55 but no guidebook. I found a menu for Update via Satellite but it didnt change this channel but may have updated others, I cant tell.
