Hello again chaps...I went up onto the roof today and did a really professional inspection job (i.e I wiggled the connections and made sure they were tight whilst scratching my balls with the other hand). When I came back down I switched on Astra and it worked, and it still works now. So...

Hi, thanks for the ideas... Yes, was all working fine previously...also not after any untoward weather, storms or anything like that (although saying that, it did start playing up during a spell of extremely hot weather). Will have to hope it leaps back into action tonight, will have a look on...

Hi guys, Right on time before the second Match of the Day of the season I have probs with Astra 2...grrr. Have three LNBs (Astra 1, Astra 2 and Hotbird) behind a Disecq switch. Last week I turned the receiver on and had no reception (0% signal quality) on Astra 2. The other two receptions are...

Yes, it is there sometimes, usually on stream 1. However, when virtually ANY other sporting event is on (F1, golf, snooker) then MOTD is normally not shown. The Football League Show is repeated all through Sunday morning

Boooo! Just before the India season and Slumdog Millionaire as well!

Hi again, no I didn't (and don't) get 2D, but at least I'll get the other channels like ITV and Channel 5 and everything... One thing has just come to mind, if I ever decide to get a Sky package then this will be through direct debit in England (no probs there), but will I then receive a new...

Aaaand, the time has come at last! My dad will be over in a month with a Sky box from England! :) To reiterate (please let me know if any points are incorrect): 1) The box he brings has to update over the satellite and not over the phone line. 2) The box has to have a card in it depending on...

TTon4 is back on, though the sound is a touch put of sync...its like watching a dubbed kung-fu film...:)

TT on 4 has been off all day...looks like its curtains until my new skybox arrives...boo! :mad:

Thanks to everyone for the help...will dig this thread up again when the time comes to connect the lot up...

Signal on all the LNBs is fine (though saying that, Hotbird is off at the moment...bad weather over here, only 55-60% signal) I would have to change the setup to watch Sky though, as I understand you cant run a Sky box indoors behind a Disecq switch (as it is now)

Best option for me would then be as follows... 1) Adjust the skew first... 2) If (when) this doesnt work, then use the dish in the video as the Astra2 satellite running through a single line to a new Sky box registered with my folks as detailed above. 3) Buy another smaller dish (60 - 80 cm...

Anyone have any other tips? I went out on the roof one-handed to film that video! :)

Went up on the roof this afternoon (first time its stopped raining for a week) and shot a short vid... BHBtbSenxEY Make sure to watch to the end, the last 20 seconds are just for you...;) Any other info needed then let me know. Cheers Mark

More news...more ideas! Have just seen the MUTV thread where the channel has been moved to EuroBird 1 (28.5E) 11307V. I can pick this up perfectly...does this mean that the alignment on the head to Astra 28.2 is simply wrong and I may be able to pick up 2D by tweaking the head? Can the same...
