[QUOTE="markyd23, post: 129258, member: 195315"] Many thanks to all of you that provided advice at 6.45pm this eve finally, FINALLY got hotbird. Wish I could attach a pic of the setup so you could get a feel for what I've been trying to do! basically the crop field facing south at the back of the wood has a ridge to the right and a large tree on the horizon. I have 2 80cm dishes. The one on the left was fixed for sky, the one on the right on astra 1 and trying to get hotbird. Anyhow, I decided to try one last thing after another hour without success. I moved the right hand dish on to sky - with loads of low open field, and tightened it secure (can't lose that!). Then got the meter on the left hand dish, which for astra 1 was now pointing to the left of the ridge in the field or so I thought! no signal, grrrrrrrr. Over the walkie talkie asked my gf to put it on hotbird for the hell of it and there it was! Surprised you didn't all hear me! the ridge of the field was obviously causing a problem even though it was several 100 metres away. The lesson I've learn't from DIY installing is - if you think you might need to do something -you probably do! Now to really cheer me up if anyone has any advice on these software update / patches / firmware thingys for silvercrest receivers as I haven't a clue, any opportunity for the footie is gratefully investigated! Many thanks all once again - a happy hotbird Markyd23! [/QUOTE]
