pic30 was too large, I have replaced with pic 1.

The "old one" was actually installed by a professional about 15 years ago and he took the cable through the loft via the air brick above it.
My contribution to the setup was replacing the old LNB with a Monoblock in order to get 13E Hotbird, which needed a little skewing while focussing on 19E. I then was able to watch the German and Italian channels.
It was my first ever attempt to fiddle with any setup and I was afraid I was going to make a real mess of it but everything went better than I thought.....so to all you amateurs out there (like me) be brave, it can be rewarding.

...and don't forget I am a senior Senior!
And as you see, I went on to install from scratch all that you see in pic31!

To Moderator: sorry about the clutter, perhaps you can tidy it up for me by deleting the 2nd.reply?(I am not allowed to delete, or am I?)

Get yourself a copy of pixresizer. Its a great bit of freeware: You can resize one photo or a whole folder with a couple of clicks.

Got to say I fully agree with AS use it myself and find it very handy, you can keep your full sized pics too, so you got the proper ones and the resized ones.

Thats a good point - make sure you change the destination folder to something different if you want to keep the original pics at full size!

I use it a fair bit to resize photos I want to put up on facebook, or my websites.
