[QUOTE="annemarigold, post: 21846, member: 176132"] Many thanks. W'ell give this a try at the dealer as we have the secong thingy from our last home. I don't feel morally obliged to worry about contracts etc as I'm still paying! Tips (perhaps already commonly known) 1. Have a compass (!!) and make sure you have a nice clear view at 28 east of south with no tree branches etc. Even on very shaded sites in S Spain we've managed to get line of site. Often a move of a couple of feet will do. 2. If the digibox has been off for a while it may take some time to pick up listings so be patient, try re-booting and don't give up. 3. get to the installer set-up from system set-up by pressing 0,1 and select. Change default transponder setting from 11.778 to 11.720 (some say 11.719) and change V to H then save, select and back-up. I don't know if this is necessary in S Spain but it worked for us although we couldn't get ITV programmes. Of course this may all be nullified by the BBC move anyway. [/QUOTE]
