    Just Sharing This FTA Ukraine war zone feeds

    I haven't tried that yet. But it will be a right pain switching between that and 4K all the time :)

    Just Sharing This FTA Ukraine war zone feeds

    I've tried every setting and as soon as I go on any of the Lyiv feeds I get a black screen. Then I change channel and the screen stays black with just audio and the TV says "No Signal" sometimes it will show a corrupted GUI, but whatever happens I have to select another channel then reboot. I...

    Just Sharing This FTA Ukraine war zone feeds

    For some reason my Mutant HD51 loses it's video output or crashes when I look at the Lviv feeds, I can't figure out why. And as someone said the Kyiv feeds are have gone :(

    My Mutant HD51 is a bit fussy with the CNN feeds on 4.8E, I've got the Kyiv ones working okay now after fiddling with the video settings with auto resolution changes etc, but the Lyiv feeds will sometimes cause the video output to go corrupted/interlaced/no signal and I have to reboot the box to...

    Just heard the camera men talking about a fire there last night and some explosive that had gone off below. Crazy

    Is the building where the Kyiv Path 2 feed is currently coming from on fire? There is a " May I have your attention please. A fire emergency has been reported in the building" message playing over and over in different languages and the building opposite (St Michael's Cathedral?) looks like...

    I need a new pair of SHARP sidecutters!

    Thank you, I haven't been active at all as I haven't been feeling well. I was put on about 5 tablets to try and sort one thing and all the different side effects and interactions just made everything worse! So gradually got off them all and starting again from a baseline with my consultant.

    I used to use CK Ecotronic ESD Side cutters, but have switched to Hakko CHP-170 which I find fantastic. They seem to be widely available in the UK now from various sites, the flat faced pliers Hakko do are extremely useful too.

    Receiving these no problem in South Wales on my Gibby 1m and Mutant HD51, I did have the display go strange (Including the HD51 menus) but setting the box to Automatic Resolution and Force Deinterlace solved that.

    It's likely the output on it is too high for the 5302 (from the LNB's LNA) and swamping the AGC of the tuner.

    Just Sharing This Something to make dish skew possible on zone 2 dishes

    I'll get the dish out soon and check that for you and get some better photos.

    @jeallen01 This is how the dish skew works on my Maxview Zone 2 Clone.

    Just Sharing This Something to make dish skew possible on zone 2 dishes

    However a motorised dish can often give a better signal over most fixed dishes, provided the fixed dish has the LNB skewed, whereas the motorised dish will always skew the dish. But all things being equal a fixed dish will be better to dial in the very last drop of signal provided you can skew...
