[QUOTE="nedge2k, post: 665489, member: 342073"] Hi guys, Just bought a USB DVB-S tuner for my HTPC as my flat has a (single) "sat" coax connector on the wall. Now, I know sod all about satellite stuff so I'm wondering if anyone would be kind enough to offer an opinion as to what my building's setup might be? We have no building manager, our letting agent is useless and I've been round the building trying to find where the dish feed comes in to no avail so it's all guesswork at the mo! I'm assuming the dish will be pointed at 28.2 for sky? (building was all refurb'd in 2000) I'm assuming there will be some kinda switch/diseqc? (there are 12 flats) Which KU band is most likely for the LNB(s)? I've tried hooking the tuner up to Prog DVB but it always says no signal/quality. Been at this for a few days now and it's driving me nuts. I don't know whether the tuner is duff, the dish is duff or I'm just telling the software the wrong stuff! TIA! [/QUOTE]
