Hi Iceman I appreciate your offer, but obviously you are a commercial concern and as I mentioned earlier, I am on a low income and the budget couldn't run to professional help. In any case the system is running at an acceptable level at the moment. When I have more free time I will try to...

Hi Iceman Yes I did assemble it myself with some help from my son, not because I thought that I could do it better than the professionals. Rather because I enjoy new electronic challanges and anyway, being on a small pension I need to keep the costs down. I have in fact I have re-assembled it...

Hi RolfW further to my request for information with regard to satellite reception in Northern Cyprus.
