[QUOTE="Archive4, post: 969353"] Had a very unusual job today. Went back to a dish I re-aligned on Thursday, following the bad winds we have had of late. Turned out the guy´s stb ( Bush twin tuner with hard drive ) had given up the ghost and although the lights came on, nobody was at home. No output from the box to the tv on the HDMI or scart cable. Basically, new box or repair. The strange thing, no signal on the cables in the living room on my Smart S1 or the Emitor. OK, ladder off the bus and onto the shared roof we go! All bolts we well tight as I expected, tried to move dish by hand, no chance. So, methinks, maybe the stb has shot a bit of HV up the coax and blown the lnb. Changed the lnb for a new one, no signal. Starting to doubt my sanity now ( yes I know there will be comments ) so walked across shared roof to another dish about 5 pads away and tested my tester there! All ok, tester working fine ( although that dish does need some tweaking ), so back to " my dish " Had to loosen bolts and rotate dish about three cm right to get signal back. I do not leave the mounting bolts loose, and I never work after " beer o´clock " so know it was OK when I left on Thursday. The fact I had to undo the bolts to correctly align the dish means they were done up. Can only assume that " a n other " has been working on the same shared roof and fancied another " quick " buck from one of the neighbours. Illegitimate individuals [/QUOTE]
