[QUOTE="HelenH, post: 891752, member: 402482"] If I'm honest I haven't checked the cables, primarily because there are so many of them that I'm not entirely sure what all of them do. I might have to communicate with hubby, as he is a bit better at the cabling side of things. It's on a motorhome, and this last problem has only noticeably raised its head since we tried to use it last month. It definitely worked last summer as we were in the lakes watching the Tour de France, and then I think we tried it last October. It didn't work then, but we were amongst lots of trees so I think we assumed that was why it wouldn't lock on to anything. It couldn't find anything last week, so by looking on here, contacting scan terieur and popping to a motorhome show locally, I then tried a few other options. I tried only selecting one or more of the frequencies, rather than all of them, and it found both frequencies that had the Y, but then couldn't find the ones that had the N. I selected it to find both the Y channels which it did quite quickly, but then I didn't have any channels to watch! I assumed it was locking onto the wrong satellite, so then I tried this and now it just spins around in circles for about 10 minutes before giving up. The Tour starts tomorrow!!!! H [/QUOTE]
