Sunday's job was fixing my mum and dad's satellite dish.

The dish was fitted originally with a four output LNB feeding a sky+ box and two other receivers. After the recent bad weather the dish stopped working on 3 out of four outputs, so I decided to set them up with a new 8 output LNB from Amazon.

Luckily it was a straightforward job. Just make sure all your satellite boxes are switched off at the socket before you start as otherwise you might get a bit of a shock! It was pretty much just a case of swapping the old output for the new one, with a small tweak needed to the LNB's skew to get the output levels as good as we could to reduce rain fade.
