[QUOTE="Alan22, post: 1128941, member: 417507"] Yeah moisture is a right pain, try explaining to the wife about where drips are coming from is hell on earth, I was a builder before forced to retire, and have seen how water travels from somewhere you would not expect, passing over obvious points where you would expect it from, and I have seen walls collapse due to moisture\weather as well, where bricks\blocks freshly laid in winter, but not adequately protected so when the frost comes down the moisture swells as it freezes. Mobile phones are another example, the amount of times I've seen people puzzled why warranty refuses to mend their phones because it was liquid damaged, so is not covered, I have to explain the effect of hot and cold weather, and putting\taking your phone in\out of your pockets causes big temperature changes that create condensation, luckily todays phones are not as likely to face this compared to older phones, but I did notice the rubber washer you mention for the first time ever I think, but the old and new LNB's both have shields that drop down to help protect them. Love the idea of the spanners, but I am at risk of losing fingers with my ability's these days lol, but even without that, the amount of times I do such jobs is once in a blue moon, it wouldn't be worth it, so I just swear a lot as I go and swear never again lol, but some great tips and links there, I'll have to have a play and see where it takes me lol. Anyway that is this part done with then, onto the next, I did it this way to avoid confusion, I just bought a Samsung QE50QN94A TV, and it has satellite ports on there, but dammed if I can find out how to use them, obviously I'm not going to blindly screw a satellite lead into it without knowing what will happen, the only detail I can find shows Main and Sub, by the name Main indicates that is the port you use(?), but they are different lengths (ease of connecting?), and I can't figure out what Sub is for, any idea how to make the most of these? Also while not quite in this subject, but it's too small for it's own thread, there are 2 USB ports, the obvious is to plug say a thumb drive in and go through playing media, photo's etc, I get the feeling that I could also connect a hard drive and use it as a PVR as well? Assuming this to be the case, which port would be used for what as they have different ratings for power on them? Thanks to everyone for the help. [/QUOTE]
