Hi all I am on my second sky+ (pace) box, and I am getting some pic break up. My original unit did the same thing. Looking at the signal strengh input 2 is fluctuating a bit from almost 90% down to 85%. Input 1 is solid and at around 90%. NOW I am using the new unit at a different address on a...

Always good fun (to a point) to redo the sat positions after a reset lol I have battled with my echostar 3600 (echonaff software) One day I will replace it with a DreamBox so I can D/L channel parameters from the net etc. If I was you, I would back up your settings into your pc, I'm sure there...

Opps you didn't want to do that :-DOH! If possible you might need to get to the motor and see which colour wire goes where. You can't reply on the installer using a correct way of wrirng (if any) It's possible that a wrong connection could damage the sensor in the motor. If you can get to the...

Thanks for that. Do you use Yahoo Messenger? If not -- when you go into the archive, you get a split screen (separate 3 active areas) contacts down one side, Dates of chats and chat display on bottom. You have to select one chat date at a time, and can't multi select to get a continuous date...

Hi. Yep, it does, but when you have 3 years worth of chats and useless yahoo wont let you multiple select to print, it will be a pain. (Chats needed for legal reasons) Anyways, I decided to take the risk and pay for a programme (cencerned that it would again be useless) But it does the job, it...

Hi. I need to print my chat archive from yahoo messenger. Using the print function on messenger only prints half a page (of a full screen of several pages) If I go to the setting on my lexmark printer, it crashes. I have looked around for a decent programme to decode and print dat files, but...

Thanks for that. Seems quite a few people have had problems with this meter's battery life!

Hi If I was to get a 15v PSU to power my meter instead of the useless battery pack, would I have to worry about the amps? According the Lacuna -- "The pack is made from 10 x 1.5 volt cells, 2.2mAh at the moment" No wonder it doesnt last very long! Cheers

Hi Thanks for that. The dish is a 80cm, to go in the garden (next to the fence, in the flower bed) Just wish there was something you could cover the dish with without reducing the signal. Like the cubsat thing, which would be too small for Am22. Cheers

Hi Can you get BBC and ITV channels with yout 1.2m? My fiancee lives in Chernivtsy, so it would be nice to find out what size dish I would need . Thanks. PS are you Ukranian or a UK ex pat?

Hi. Thanks for that It is possible to get a transparant dish, satsuperstore sell them. I'm not sure how they would look in a garden. Yes, it would be possible to put the dish by the fence and paint it to blend in with plants etc. I made the mistake of painting my 1.2m and 88cm green then...

Someone out there must have an Echostar hooked up to a plasma! or any multisat receiver -- Dreambox etc etc!!! Hi I want to get a 37"-40" plasma, but I was wondering what the picture quality of European channels are like? I guess they are much better than sky's effort. My GF likes her...

Hi all. Does anyone know the situation about the Ukranian channels moving from Sirius to Amos 2? Channel 5 was on Amos 2 then moved to Sirius:confused: I want to give my GF her channels on a dedicated receiver without having to move the 1.2m dish. I have a spare 88cm dish, but it's a shame...

Hi all. I want to put a dish in my front garden for Express AM22 53e. My other dishes are in the back garden, but the house blocks anything beond 30E. I already have a 1.2m and 90cm in the back garden. So I want to make the dish in the back garden as invisible as possible. I understand that you...

Hi all. Going back to my old post. I really need to sort this meer out. I dont want to payout for an new meter or insatller. What type of PSU would I need to power the meter? I had intended to, if possible to fix a switch and a socket in to the body of the meter so I bypass the battery in...
