[QUOTE="mohiken, post: 947035, member: 406224"] Hi Rvator Good news and more good news tried the m/home in a different position and it sort of worked but tree line obscured line of site for best pick up wifey wanted to travel so of we went to the isle of sheppey ,while there made some adjustments and it worked ok travelled to Cornwall and it worked ,but got frustrated by the 'sky box' time it took to start up and binned it and went back to to original televes (not telco as previously stated) box and all was well , travelled to cromer and it worked , then via Warrington for a couple of days onto seascale in Cumbria working again , then down to lowestoft for a week with no problem now I'm back home quite happy ,had to make very slight adjustments to angle of lnb on dish probably caused by variations in position across the uk Next experiment -- on the televes rx I said dead channels , on reading the screen I realised the it was other channels on other sats , so im thinking astra on 28 in channel 450 on magicsat box why not the other 2 sats listed set up on chan 455 and 460 (if that makes sense) and changing channels on magicsat should swing dish in the right direction provided I get suitable freq's and info to program it , [URL="http://www.flysat.com"]www.flysat.com[/URL] is a good place to start listing all sat and freqs ,a site I found by accident ! Reminds me of a good few years ago when it was all analogue signal and an amstrad rx -I had a drake rx manually tuned and a 2 metre steerable dish it was fun to chase the sats in the sky -anyway getting back to events of today all is well with magicsat thanks you and the forum pointing me in the right direction and regenerating my interest in sat receiving I will keep you and the forum posted as to results (good and bad) it may help others Thanks again Colin [/QUOTE]
