    Unhappy Just bad luck

    Hey guys,

    I've been into sat stuff for a fair while and finally decided to set up the sat again. Mounted the sat, ran the cable, tuned it in with my strong x2 then borrowed a family members box who is overseas and had a valid sub. A nice little screen popped up saying to upgrade your subscription please call .... What a bummer. Found out he just cancelled his sub What a bummer.

    Oh well cant win them all.

    For newbies having trouble getting signal the hard bit is always getting the lnb settings right and hoping your cable isn't stuffed. Do a search on the web for your lnb and see if anyone has the same box then just copy their settings. Drag a tv out so you can see it from the sat, go to your dish settings/signal strength, dial in the beacon freq i.e. optus c1 10.700, check where you should generally be pointing on the net then start doing a slow N pattern with the dish. Signal will go up at some point in time then you just gotta fine tune it and hope you have the right sat.

    Have fun

    Oooops,

    False alarm. I was in a bit shitty cause it didn't work then this arvo I clicked on. If it has been off for ages the keys may have not updated. Left it on all arvo and now have some great tv to watch.



    I had it on for a few hours before but it obviously wasn't long enough.
