I get asked to update 2/3 times a day sometimes, other times it goes weeks before I get the update screen.
Should I update or ignore it?

I live in Sheffield (lower Grenoside) and have to use the Belmont Transmitter but recently I keep loosing some of the DVB channels.Why is this? Re-tuning does not rectify the situation.
If I switch to Freesat I am able to view the missing channels!
This is an important situation because DVB and Freesat show different news programs..

Alan Gardner: Retuning achieves nothing unless the set is tuned incorrectly in the first place.
Freesat can show any regional news programmes because the satellite footprint is nationwide!
Freesat receivers request a postcode which is simply to provide the appropriate regional BBC and ITV variants. Thus, anyone who wants different regions can simply enter a postcode within their desired region!
In any case, BBC Look North (Yorkshire) from Leeds is the regional news programme for Sheffield. However, there are quite a few Belmont users in the City because the terrain prevents reception from Emley Moor, Crosspool or one of the other Yorkshire region transmitters. This means that you and other Belmont users receive Look North from Hull, whose principal service area is East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Hi All, I just moved in to a property in Rushden with a sat dish pointing approx SE and with 2 similar cables with screw ends and protruding Cu wire into the lounge. Don't know what box was previously used. Can you suggest what I might need please to get free sat reception and how to set up and test it. Many thanks Andrew Rogers.

Andrew Rogers: A Freesat box...
Two feeds are required for a recording device so that two channels can be received simulataneous - i.e. to record one channel and watch another or perhaps record two, depending on the design of the device.
If your chosen device has only one satellite input then only connect one cable. The other can be left unused or fed into another receiver.

"the answer my friend is a blowing in the wind."
Snow or rain can block your signal but wind can only take effect by moving the dish. Is it mounted firmly or on the end of a wobbly pole?
It may be that the dish is not optimally pointed.
Or the low-noise block downconverter or its connections may be loose.
Can experts here advise how precisely the dish needs pointing, and how practical it is to "up a bit down a bit left a bit right a bit" - presumably with a few secs lag time to allow for?
Can you access it to play with, tighten screws, etc?
