[QUOTE="B16MCC, post: 694506, member: 197891"] Well guys I'm back from my maden voyage in my new folding camper. I took my DM800, a 19" LCD with HDMI input and as mentioned a nice new zone1 dish on a tripod. I was dead easy. Our pitch was about 50 yards from a very high line of trees but the line of sight was obviously clearing the trees without any issues. The site steward came over for a chat when he saw me setting up and mentioned that it was a problem area because of the many rock outcrops and trees in the area. I connected everything up and didn't bother to insert my meter to begin with. Using my hand held compass I alligned to about 140 degrees. Knowing that the north of the UK uses pretty much no elevation at all on the dish I already had that set so the dish was perfectly flat. Using the 'SatFinder' screen on the dreambox I have a lock with a signal strength of 50% within 3 minutes. As I flicked through the predefined TP's on the satfinder page some of them went as high as 80% ! On some I did have a little BER but nothing more than about 1000. My required channels, ITV HD , BBC1 & 2 , and Scy Sports News came in like a Dream. I took my card with me as Scy Sports News is still encrypted via sat. and ran it in the internal reader having already setup the CCcam.cfg to suite at home before I left. So, all in all, dead easy setup , everything worked at treat ! The site steward came back several times over the weekend to ask my advice on a long term fix for the site. I advised on a 1m dish fixed close to the ground with a quatro LNB and a 32 way multiswitch so that people could simply plug in and go. [/QUOTE]
