    Newbie Help - building new system 90-100 DIY Dish vs T-90 and other bits to complete

    Although I have a satlink, the best finder is a portable TV, extension cable and your box! Give yourself plenty of time and prepare yourself for many frustrating times when setting up the T-90. I have now re-installed mine 4 times due to wind, re-positioning etc and now it is a piece of cake...

    Heavy-duty groundstand base in a hurry

    great stuff! after reading lots of posts from newbies, and certainly for me, getting the pole 100% vertical is an obvious priority, perhaps the mods of this fine forum could start a DIY section for such things as this... finding those little buggers in the sky is only half the job, the other is...

    Help me re-align before i quit the sat scene...

    Just keep going Ash - I won't even being to tell you the mistakes I made from pure embarrsement but when setting up a satellite dish like everyone else has quite rightly said, getting the pole 100% vertical from the off is the MOST IMPORTANT thing to do. All other settings / angles etc will be...

    Chasing Midnight New Years Eve 2010

    Have a good one! Moral of the night - after heavy snow and lots of ice, do the sat checking the day before chasing midnight and dont go out at 6pm tinkering with the dishes - it soon gets to 10pm and then you lose the remote in the darkness of a back garden! its been a fun one - thank you to...
