Is there some way to pick up both french and british using just one ? It seems that french channels are viewable on 19.2°E and british on 28.2°E? French channels are also available on AB3 at 5°W. Is it conceivable to have one dish and 2 LNBs? If so, which configuration?

Alain: Yes, you can get some dishes with two LNBs. Or you can get a replacement mount to allow two LNBs. See BrySat Info - 2 satellites, one dish for an example.

Hello ... I appreciate your helpful site and you can out.

I now use the free on my , but lately the signal is so poor that I can only get a small selection of channels.
I tried fix no.1 with no success.
No 2 I couldn't do because the system setup facilities were different [the ones specifies weren't available.
No 3 I did, but the box didn't restart itself after the message disappeared. When I turned it on there was , with or without the installed.
When I go to signal strength etc I see it is non-existent, and can't get any channels at all. So, after trying to get more channels, I now have none!! :(

All I get is the instruction to turn off the box, wait 5 mins, and restart [which makes no difference].

I haven't moved the box whilst doing this, but checked the cable is secure at the back.

Goodness knows what's going on here - perhaps it'll seem simple to you..

With thanks
John Fuller

I just read somewhere else that if you do a system update when you have a poor you can do permanent damage. I think this might have happened....

john Fuller: You can't damage the box with an if there is or a poor signal. The box does a CRC check on the data and will not attempt to use if it is corrupt.

You may have a "no signal" message because you don't actually have a signal.

Another reason could be the circuits in the box have blown.

Thanks for putting my mind to rest about my having broken it. I was looking on ebay already!
There was a slight when I started - could get a few major , and broken versions of some others [big tree next door, wet leaves].
But there's not a squeak now.
Do you think I could have blown the circuits with the ? I may have unplugged it without first switching it off....[??]

I have been using a set top box to convert my TV with no problems. I recently bought a 32" digital TV. The picture is now rubbish. Faces seem to blur and outside broadcasts like football and racing all appear to have ghosting. has anyone any ideas or reasons why ?

Hi
I am about to put up a satelite for my box, however because of the design of the house i cannot run a internally down the walls.
the house already has a cable installed to a socket in the lounge.
can i splice the satelite cable into the aerial cable in the ? what will the effect on both the satelite and standard tv at the wall socket in the lounge?
