Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish
You can put a quad LNB on any dish, then feed either 4 standard units off it or two PVR units

Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish
You won't get Dave on satellite - it's not broadcast as a free channel via satellite as it has exclusive carriage with Sky.

Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish
gutted there go's me top gear! she's going be made up lol anything i can do to get this channel with this set up???

Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish
Nothing at all, except to hope and pray the BBC, via Freesat, eventually persuade UKTV to put more of its channels in the clear on satellite, particularly those channels it broadcasts for free on Freeview. Whether UKTV does this will simply depend on whether they think they can make more revenue from advertising to a few extra punters on free satellite, or by sticking with their Sky exclusivity and encryption deal.

Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish
does anyone know if it is possible to connect this dish to a freeview recorder?
|
Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish
Freesat recorder YES freeview recorder NO - The frequencies are totally different..
But if instead of DISH you meant SAT Reciever and instead of freeview recorder you mean AV recorder then yes.. |

Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish
Time on the sat is normally set two ways, either manually via the setup menu or auto via the sat. Just remember that if you point it to a foreign channel then the time will reflect that channel ;)

Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish
Welcome to the forum,
Have you bought a sat finder meter?? They are about the ONLY sure way of pointing the dish to the strongest signal source. (less than a tenner from ebay) BUT there is a great website that allows you to pinpoint your exact location on a map and then select your sat. It'll then give you your Elevation, Azimuth (true), Azimuth (magn.) and LNB Skew |

You sure that you tuned into Astra28.2 ?? I think you might have hit Astra23.5 (which astra 1E is part of), you need to go slightly more east.

And please ensure that they are quads / octos that you buy and not quattro lnb's. ;) |
Re: B&Q Satellite - Ross freesat box and dish
And a few of the old sky dishes can't take a quad LNB either without an adaptor :rolleyes:
Now excuse me whilst I ring up my friend who has a quad LNB on thier B&Q dish feeding a couple of dreamboxes in various rooms to inform her that she'll have to stop using them as the experts have said that her quad LNB won't fit on the dish it's been on for 6 months :rolleyes: :doh: :rolleyes: |
