![]() Support for different makes/models of receiver varies. What channels you can get also varies. TV Packages come and go. D+ on Astra1 is on its way out right now. But there's still a bit to choose from. |

Hi fredhead,
the dish size is a bit on the small side and if it rains you will loss the signal, best if you can get a 80cm dish then you would be OK in all but a monsoon. You will want to go further when you get going and the bigger dish will allow you to upgrade without the need to get a bigger dish when you do upgrade. Very best regards Wez

Hi Kerrywez ,
I am using a 80cm dish , equipment is not the issue . I think its my technical skills that need to be addressed . Dont suppose you know of any clued up sat experts on this forum that live in the region of Amersfoort Holland ? I could go to the local pro boys here but that aint where the fun is . cheers ![]() Fred. |

Hi Fred,
If there are and they see this then I am quite sure you will her from them. I am very glad that you got the UK channels for the wife, bet you are having some very nice dinners the next few days, not that she would give you anything other than the best at any time. Very best regards Wez

![]() I can't remember, did you post a photo of what you have done so far? I remember when I tried setting up a 2nd LNB the first time, I just waved the 2nd LNB around a bit until I got a signal. ![]() |
