[QUOTE="jcinsa, post: 326721, member: 246979"] Hi and many thanks for all your help and understanding. I admit it.....I am a pillock !!!! I asked my local satellite vendor for his advise and he recoiled in horror to think that anyone of sane mind would attempt to install a motorised system...he certainly wouldn't try!!!! I came back home and sat down determined to ***** it. Then it came to me!!!!! when I turned on the Technomate the little red light came on and I thought " I wonder what will happen if I try pressing the standby button?" And guess what? it all started working ! I couldn't get a signal when I pointed the dish at 5 deg west, so I checked the alignment of the dish and adjusted the elevation and got a picture with 72 per cent signal quality!!! so much for experts. I now have a working system with all satellites available and a good picture on them. Now for my next question.......... I have, from top to bottom on my stack. Technomate 1500 Sky digibox combined vcr/dvd player (jvc hr-xv31) Can I connect them all at the same time so that I can switch between Sky and my Technomate without swapping cables? As you can see from the above I am a complete thicko when it comes to technical things and any help is much appreciated.....Thanks once again for all help [/QUOTE]
