    Advice Needed Thompson Tnt Sat experience?

    Trees. :(. Already had them chopped in my garden BUT two huge ones about 50 to 60 metres away behind my trees have definitely grown to a height just enough to cause issues. A quick google and Silver Birch are fast growing. Oh well. Time to get the ladders and drill back out. Amazing how quick...

    Advice Needed Thompson Tnt Sat experience?

    Quality is low. Missing a HD channel and breaking up slightly on most HD channels. Ive seen overloading on my Mvision where it cuts and jumps but I just cant seem to align this up. Im going to swap the box sometime this week and see what i get without moving dish. thanks guys.

    Advice Needed Thompson Tnt Sat experience?

    Anyone played with one of these boxes? Impossible to get a strong signal. Used to have no issues on a different box, same allignment (19.2), same dish just different box on TNT SAT with official card. 80cm should be more than sufficient. What is bizarre is I shortened the cable from about 5...

    Best bracket for universal lnbs.

    bought a nice inverto black ultra and a bracket but had no luck at all. i thought it would straight forward, a little adjustment here a little there to get the best reception, but zero. Ive moved the cable after checking it was ok to the new LNB and slightly moved it bit by bit and have my...

    I want to run 13 and 19 off 1 dish. Have done it before with a monoblock but not possible now with a switch to the oval for 28. Anyone made their own? :wacko:

    Did it or didn't it survive ?

    No brunette, multi lingual with a masters degree. I once said to her in the channel tunnel I hope this is the train to France, she said' cause it is it said on the sign'.

    Did it or didn't it survive ?

    I returned from France on the 30th and was using my trusty tripod for 19, (my pic on left) as I have just moved house. I thought this would be long long gone or maybe even upside down at the bottom of the garden. Next doors fence was nicely resting on the wifes car so I thought oh no. It had...

    Expected life of a Diseqc switch?

    Was thinking the exact same thing as I read your post. The current could be going open due to loss. I feel a rewire coming on. Ive only just moved and haven't been up a ladder yet to inspect the oval as its right on top of the house because of trees. Luckily there's gap for anything from 19.2...

    Expected life of a Diseqc switch?

    waiting for the post man to come with new one. Why i think its the switch is because when i have a dedicated lnb either of my two (i.e remove the switch), it works effortlessly.

    Spoke too soon, started failing again, channels drop off one by one when turning over. Very strange.

    Expected life of a Diseqc switch?

    I brought the switch indoors (round the back of the telly) and after a bit of re wiring its working again. Thats after I bought a new switch of course. doh. It will need to go back outside though as I plan to either 1. face 13 and have an extra lnb on a bracket for 19.2 OR 2 have another dish...

    Ive had two go on me in 2 years. Must admit they were cheap. When the second one started to go channels were dropping like flies with no pattern. Very bizzare.
