[QUOTE="Alan22, post: 1130283, member: 417507"] Sorry about the delay, the hospital didn't go well, anyway I was forced to give up trying, the box messed me about no end, it would not let me add the recordings, I entered 1 just fine, but the other program would not play nice, and then to really mess this up it would not allow me to remove the scheduled items, no matter how many times I selected cancel recording, and every time it would confirm it's removal, but when I went back to the program guide it was still there, but I got nowhere fast, so I gave up as the wife went into paranoia mode thinking I would mess her programs up lol. But I would have to conclude that you are bang on the money in your thoughts Re this, although I could not complete the test, the brain actually just woke up while typing this, and the penny just dropped, many a time the wife has moaned about her programs record at different times and channels than she sets in, and some channels she has to use the HD option as the SD is blank, so putting all that together you have to be right (not that I ever thought you weren't), but what has confused me is how I was able to manually record both channels at the same time, I set one recording, then I went to the other channel and set that recording as well, with the results above, that was all. :-respekt But I had to sort the cables on the dish out today, it's been raining most of the time, and the way I struggle it wasn't safe to do it sooner, had a hell of a time with 1 of the shotgun leads, must be about 4 inches shorter than the other now lol, they seem to have strong signal now, but the quality is very low, not in any way that you can see (picture etc is fine), but the system reports low quality, neither does it show the 2 connections, just one, but acknowledges there are 2 leads connected (I have now put the shotgun cable in both connectors now), so the splitter has been removed from the set up now. Now just wondering about the quality issue, I noticed today the LNB had markers on the neck that I assume sets the skew(?) angle on it, not sure what it's supposed to be, but I didn't notice the old one having this, so not sure if I have it in the right position (same as the original posted at the start), so the bracket is fixed at the top as it's supposed to be (it can't go any higher up), but the markings as to how twisted it should be wasn't noticeable, so all I did was centralise the position roughly, but today I saw the markers and from memory I think it's at +5 (degrees?), any idea what this should be at? I can't be that far off because I tried to make it match visually, but I was struggling by the end and just couldn't do more or I would have been on the ground, adjusting it won't be easy as it's at full stretch which is where my body fails to work as my fine motor skills are shot, along with the rest of me, any thoughts?
