[QUOTE="xerxes, post: 24182, member: 176073"] The Gibertini 100 dish I ordered last Sunday from ebay was delivered yesterday, on Friday. I was really quite impressed with it as even though it came without any sort of instructions at all, it was clear how the many bits all fitted together - except for 1 rotten 175mm x 3mm screw. Could this screw have been a free gift, or does it play some absolutely essential role I'm not aware of? Did you get one as well, Tom34, with your Gibertini dish, and would you have any idea what it's for? By the way rolfw, I can confirm that you can [U]definitely[/U] pick up the BBC with a 100 cm (Humax?) dish and an Invacom single LNB here in Holzkirchen, 40 odd kms south east of Munich. Our new neighbours introduced themselves to us recently with the line "We heard you're English - you wouldn't know how we can get BBC TV again, would you?". Sorted it all out last Saturday. Maximized the signal quality on their Panasonic 30 Digibox, from 45% up to 87% by realigning their dish a bit. When they used my (brand new) Invacom LNB in place of their City Com 1.0db Univeral LNB, the Beeb came in loud and clear, much to our surprise. Ordered the Gibertini dish, another Invacom LNB, and a multifeed holder from ebay the next day. Still waiting for the multifeed holder to come. Nevertheless, tomorrow is pencilled in for a bit of barn-raising, when we stick the new dish up together, and hope for the best Xerxes [/QUOTE]
