    Default foxtel iq wont work.

    Hey all,

    I just moved house and i put the dish up myself for a foxtel setup.

    From reading here and on the net, I figured I need this gear:

    1. Satellite Dish (45cm or 65cm)
    2. LNB - Don't know which one though
    3. Cable to hook it up, RG6 with F connectors??

    I have a Sharp ku-lnbf bs1r5ar228a. like this one: .
    with a 65cm dish.

    i have set it up in the same directions as all the other dishes on my neighbors
    houses as i live in a complex and share the same roof etc.

    but once i have plugged everything in and switch on my foxtel box all i get is a message saying no satellite signal being received ..

    i dont know why this is as my foxtel box worked at my old place.

    any help would be great.

    young pc.

    p.s is there anything else do I need to know or do and does foxtel require?

    cheers

    It sound like your dish needs Aligning to the Satellite, & fine tuning,

    you may need a Satellite finder etc... or get an installer to align it on the correct Satellite for you,

    but, why didn't you get foxtel to relocate your Foxtel installation, & do the installing for you at your new house ?

    Cheers

    I imagine there is some sharing going on here, which is frowned upon by Foxtel. Get a local installer to align your dish and all will be good.
