If you find this information useful and want to thank me, why not buy one of my low-cost "eBooks" that you can download direct to your computer? My books can be read on-screen or printed out on paper. They are full of colour photos and illustrations. http://www.The-Cool-Book-Shop.co.uk
I'm revamping the SatCure "shop" section of the web site so the main pages don't take as long to load. If you spot any "missing links", please let me know! Eventually each item (or set of items) will have its own web page. Although this appears to be an additional complication, page loading times will be reduced and it will be less confusing overall, since I'll be able to put more details on each product page. A hidden advantage is that the individual product pages should start appearing quite high in the Google search results, making it easer to find what you want. Digital Installer Course This course has proved very popular but a few prospective "students" have shied away because a Paypal account is required. I'm not a great fan of Paypal myself so I have employed a software guy to add the facility for payment by credit card as well. This change should be implemented before the end of August. Keep it Cool Some parts of Europe are reaching temperatures in excess of 40 degrees centigrade and equipment is failing. Receivers with Hard Drives (and computers) are especially at risk because the HDDs are generally specified for use only up to 35 degrees C. So, if your ambient air temperature is forty or more, it doesn't matter how fast you suck it through, it is heating the equipment instead of cooling it! The only answer is to turn off the power when the temperature is higher than 30'C or provide cool air. If you ignore this advice, your equipment will fail.

Satellite Direct became infamous for its mention on TV's "Watchdog" and will probably not be sadly missed. It will be interesting to see if it starts up again under a different name. BskyB to launch 3D channel http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/07/30/sky_3d_launch/ I do my best to give useful help and advice but frequently am criticised for correcting a person's spelling. Providing the correct spelling allows people to search for the terms more effectively*. Many people are ignorant of the correct spelling of technical terms, which they are not using daily. That's understandable but there's no sense in ignoring the mistakes. It's like ignoring the bogey on a friend's nose. You might be reluctant to embarrass him now but it will only make the embarrassment worse in the future. A real friend points out the bogey immediately before he unwittingly parades it in front of a camera, which will remember it forever. *For example, try searching Google for "line of site" (a common mistake) instead of "line of sight" and see how useless the results are. I really don't think it's helpful to suggest that it's OK to write words incorrectly. It may sometimes have to be tolerated if a person has a serious problem like dyslexia but it is never "OK". If the writer is clearly intelligent and misspelt the words simply because he's not familiar with them, it's absolutely right to provide the correct words. These days I think "Political Correctness" has made everyone completely crazy. When I went to school my history/geography teacher didn't ignore a spelling mistake just because it might embarrass me and because "it doesn't matter anyway because this isn't an English lesson". No, he rapped my knuckles with a cane and paraded me in front of the class to write it correctly on the blackboard. The method worked - the whole class learned the word - and we didn't grow up emotionally or physically scarred either. We grew into adults who could communicate effectively. Not so much a whinge as an observation. Many areas are approaching "analogue switch-off" and some people are still not prepared. If you want Freeview and need to change your aerial, it will be more difficult to align it (without a meter) once analogue is switched off. I don't do professional installations myself but I've done a few for family members and I don't have a meter. Instead, I use a tiny Black & White portable TV and connect it directly to a V10-040 log-periodic aerial (which is inherently wideband). I point it out of a bedroom window towards the transmitter and see how good the analogue reception is. Generally, if I can get a good clear picture from a main transmitter, Freeview is not going to be a problem. Once analogue is switched off, you'll have to use a meter or a freeview receiver which is pre-tuned for the relevant transmitter. (Scan at a neighbour's house and hope it remembers the data!)

Generally, if you ask for a free reply, you'll get what you pay for.) My location is: Accra, Ghana Equipment made by: Thomson Model number on label or rear panel: 127K148 That's not a model number. Hi, I want to purchase an adequate size dish and LNB from you to enable me to recieve SKY in Accra, Ghana. I have a Thompson Box with card and I'm paying subscription in UK. I visit Ghana more than I'm in the UK and was told that I could bring my box over, get a dish, point it in the right direction and it will work. That was not very good advice. I would be most grateful if you could assist me with the following: 1)what size dish do I need? I don't know but I'd guess it would be in excess of 10 metres to receive anything at all. Although the Astra-2 satellite cluster is almost overhead, it's beaming at the UK. 2)How much will the dish and the appropiate LNB cost me - delivered UK? I haven't quoted for a 10m dish since 1991. Back then it was around £50,000 which included the team from America to install it. I think you can safely double that estimate. I'm afraid that we'd have to insist on payment in advance and I don't think the team would be willing to fly to Africa. On the back of my house I still have my old motorised analogue dish setup, which has been redundant for many years now - I just never got round to taking it down when Sky switched to digital. Now that the freesat service is up & running, I'm minded to try to reuse the dish to run a couple of Freesat boxes for upstairs bedrooms... From memory the dish spec is: 80cm circular offset focus (I *think* it is Lenson Heath brand) it's on a motorised mount and will almost certainly be pointing at the old analog Astra location (19.2' IIRC). It used to feed a Pace MSS508IP receiver which I no longer have... The LNB mounting looks pretty much exactly like the one in your picture here: http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/dish60/dish8_0959.jpg in as much as the dish arm is a hollow square section onto which is fitted a bracket which then clamps around the horn part of the LNB. I realise that at the very least, I'm going to have to manually re-position the dish to look at 28.2' and fit a new suitable LNB & cable(s), but I wonder if you think this excercise is even worth the bother? - for instance, I'm not sure how easy it will be to reposition the dish - I can no longer run the positioning motor, so I think I'll have to remove it - or perhaps I'll be able to loosen the mounting hardware sufficiently to position it even with the motor arm still present? - I appreciate you can't possibly give specific guidance on my dish hardware from the information I've given you, and without having seen it, but from your experience, have you any opinions of this train of thought? Any general advice on how to proceed? I'm thinking that since a new LNB and 10 metres of WF100 is all I need to purchase up-front to see if it will work OK, it's not a big risk to "suck it & see"... Many thanks for any suggestions you might come up with! Many thanks! Paul G. PS, if it helps at all, I've posted a few photos of it here: Yes, that's extremely helpful. Yes, it's a Lenson Heath dish and it has a 40mm LNB bracket. Unfortunately, you haven't treated the bolts to silicone grease so they are looking somewhat rusty! Fit a STANDARD 40mm neck quad-output LNB. http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page1a.htm#quad If the motor still works, you can move the dish by using a car battery: http://www.your-book.co.uk/position.htm (One battery may be enough.) I look forward to receiving your report on your success! :-) signal is coming through even though I have replaced the connecting lead. It is a 70cm round dish, however the arm which the LNB is attached to has a circular section of 25mm diameter. Which seems nothing like most modern LNB attachment arms (eg the box section SKY type). Do you supply any LNB's (single, double or quad) which would be able to be fitted to this sort of arm? Or is it so old that it's obsolete. Your help much appreciated, Best regards, John T. The "standard" LNB fits to the plastic bracket, not to the arm. If your dish has a standard 40mm clamp bracket then you can fit one of our modern "standard" 40mm neck LNBs. If you haven't kept the LNB bracket then your dish is incomplete and will have to be recycled. ADVICE FOR ABERDEENSHIRE Dear Sir, I live in the rural hills of Aberdeenshire and consequently my terrestrial aerial is 190 metres away from the house to get a better line on Durris transmitter round the side of the hill. My set up is a high gain Yagi channel A(I believe)which is approx 3.2m long with 94 elements about 6 metres up a disused telegraph pole. On the pole is a Triax mast head amp, model TA34W , then the cable runs 34 metres to a join,above ground in weatherproof box, (the cable is underground) then 55 metres to another Triax MHA, model TA 25W-1W, 50 metres to another join, then another 45 metres to a Triax PSU P100-1 in the house. The cable and aerial are at least 25 years old but have been fine up to now. The Triax units were fitted last year when the old units blew in a thunderstorm. This system has received 4 analogue and 16 freeview channels until recently two events changed this. Firstly I lost all ITV digital channels but could not find out why. Then a thunderstorm damaged the PSU and MHA on the pole according to the engineer who did not immpress me. He told me I had lost all ITV channels because Durris now transmitts them from higher channels, so my aerial is not picking them up and I need a wide band replacement. He said he would tell me price and availability in a few days but have heard nothing. I also had to redo some of his terminals to improve my analogue signal but I cannot get it as good as before the storm. With service like this and a bill well over £100 I thought I had better learn to do it myself. I was considering a Triax Unix 100 aerial; looks to be a modern wide band equivelant of my present aerial with similar pole fittings. However, you have it in your catalogue as discontinued. The engineer was also supposed to fit an updated four way amplifier to boost the signal to other rooms. After all this I now have three questions. 1. Is the Unix 100 aerial still available and a good choice? 2. Are the Triax masthead amplifiers the right ones for the job? 3. What would be your best choice of four way amplifier to the other rooms? Longest distance about 25 meters. Your books are proving most helpful. Hoping you can give me advice. With regards, Ian P. See <http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/postcodechecker/main/trade/AB33+8ST/1/0/16cbd23b8878f087310ace97a0480b54> You will note that your Group A aerial was suitable for analogue reception. At present a high-gain wideband aerial is required for full Freeview reception. Next year from September you'll again need a group A aerial for Freeview. My advice is to leave well alone until then! The signal will be stronger and your existing aerial will be fine. In the meantime, can you install a satellite TV dish aimed at Astra-2 ? If so, get yourself a suitable dish and a used Sky Digibox. I refer to Mike Smith's letter in the last news letter. I have a high gain aerial pointing at the Mendip transmitter and until yesterday all was well. After installing a new tv I found I had lost ITV4. No problem. I did an auto scan but this didn't recover the lost channel. So I did a 'default' reset which involves a full scan. Success I now have ITV4. BUT all my channels are now coming from the South West.. Watching the local (Plymouth) news on this channel I was told that the North Devon transmitter was being upgraded for 2010.. So did this upgrade at the transmitter increase power and so gave me all the south west channels? Apart from the wrong local news the reception was perfect. My solution was to connect my Humax to to an indoor amplified aerial that I knew could see the Mendip transmitter and do another 'default' scan. Success. Will this mean that as more transmitters come up to full power this problem become more likely and we need to install attenuators in our aerial feeds? Yes, very likely. I've already got a bag of attenuators ready for mine. David S. ps I woudn't have had the problem if I could have started the scan further up the spectrum. Fit a diplexer or a filter: http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page11c.htm#diplex I am in the process of replacing this with a Labgear 4 way distribution amp (I had it in my old house and have moved it with me). However, I cannot find F connectors that will fit the old brown and white aerial cable that is there already. Could you help me with which of your F connectors I would need ? I think I need about 20. Thanks, Roy. Hi, Roy. We choose F connectors to fit the cable that we sell. If you send a sample of your cable (with a letter) to our Sales office they will check it for fit and tell you if any of our plugs is suitable. Or you could buy one of each type (RG6, H109, WF1) and try each in turn. We aim for a tight fit with silicone grease applied. See http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/fconn.htm Note that cable without foil screening is generally unsuitable for Freeview reception, which is very susceptible to impulse interference. This is especially the case for cable between aerial and amplifier, and for cable close to sources of interference (mains cable, TV set, boiler etc.) My solution is to cut into the cable where it enters the room (I have about 9 inches of cable accessible above floor) and run a new length of your extension cable to the new cable box/TV position. I have reviewed the help at your website and watched the video on fitting F connectors. I think I need: 1. An F connector for the old cable, where I cut in 2. a threaded F barrel (to join new to old cable) 3. a 2.0 metre length of your WF100 cable, prefitted with a pair of F connectors Questions: 1. Is it safe to cut into the Telewest/Virgin feed cable e.g. with pair of wire cutters/pliers Probably, if there's no voltage on it. (I have no knowledge of cable TV. There's none in my area.) 2. What F connector do I need for the old cable (I see there are 3 types of different sizes). Does the install date help (see above)? Order one of each of the three main types. I can't guess. The correct one will be quite stiff (but not impossible) to twist on with the grease applied. 3. When fitting the appropriate F connector to the old cable, do the instructions on SatCure website apply whatever type of cable/F connector is being used? Yes. They apply to all double-shielded coaxial cable. My location is: AL5 Hi there, Having read through your excellent site with interest, I hope you can advise/supply me as follows! I am currently thinking of upgrading my system. Our current installation is (I think) poor and produces mixed results. The masthead amp, for instance is installed on the grd floor on an outside wall. I believe that the simplest thing to do is to rip out the old and in with the new! I am writing in the hope that you can confirm my system selection and supply it. I propose to replace everything from the aerial down to the outlets. I have a sketch that I can send you but will try to describe the system for you. The aerial (I belive has 48 elements) feeds the masthead amp which is approx 20m away. The masthead then distributes the signal around the house. We have 6 tv's. The main lounge tv has a sky+HD box. We also have a separate sky+ box supplying my daughters bedroom. Reception on the digital tv's (all with built in freeview)is often poor (the channel performing badly varies but is often ITV and C5). I would like to a) Improve reception in all rooms b) Distribute the signal from the sky+HD unit to all other tv's (except probably the tv with the 2nd sky+ unit attached) c) Control the sky+HD channel by means of digieye in all other rooms d) Is it possible to distribute the HD quality signal? (I presume that this is not possible and that the signal received in other rroms will be normal quality). I was thinking of: a) Upgrading the aerial (ion a 10' mast, and the coax cable b) Replacing and relocating the masthead amp c) Purchase and install a Labgear HDU461/s in the loft d) Install a DAB aerial e) Keeping the secondary sky+ box independent (unless there is a benfit of distribting this around, in which case, is the Triax loft box a better solution) f) Install screened outlets as required I think I probably need 250m of coax (which one?, WF100?) I would like you to supply. I would fit (unless you know of a good reasonable local installer that you can recommend?) Hope you can help! I have a sketch that I could send of the layout (please let me know where to send). I know you don't take phone calls but if it is easier to discuss, my number is 01582 xxxxxx Kind Regards Chris W. Hi, Chris. Choice of cable is answered here: http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/cable.htm Loft box information is here: http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/lofthelp.htm It's possible to send an HD signal to another room via two CAT5 cables, using a suitable box at each end. We don't sell them. http://www.scpcat5e.com/accessories/hdmi/hdmi_extenders.php http://www.scpcat5e.com/datasheets/scpHDMI_Cat5e_Xt.pdf This would be in addition to - and separate from - any Loft Box distribution system. For Hemel Hempstead you'll presumably be using a Group CD aerial, vertically polarised (rods pointing up and down, not horizontal). As reception is equally possible from HH, CP and Sandy Heath, you may have problems of interference. Unfortunately, it's quite impossible to predict what might work best so I'd suggest experimenting in the loft to begin with, or simply point the aerial out of a bedroom window. A V10-040 log-periodic is an excellent performer in most situations and not terribly expensive. When you try it for Crystal Palace you should put a "Group A" filter in line. http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page11c.htm#diplex Use a short cable to connect it to a portable TV and look for good analogue reception (while you still have the chance). Then connect a Freeview receiver and see what you can get. No amplifier needed at this stage. More info here: http://www.wolfbane.com/cgi-bin/tvd.exe?DX=L&HT=10&OS=AL5 Whatever works best in the loft is likely to work twice as well above the roof but height and lateral position can sometimes be critical. Get the aerial working before you even think about the rest of the system. Model number on label or rear panel: no idea What I want to know (plus any other relevant information): Hi , Im looking to distribute satalite through the house using a multi switch. I see I need to upgrade the dish. Would the 80cm one you sell with quattro lnb be the way to go ? Are there any other considerations when going this route? Which multi switch would you recomend ? Need to wire 8 rooms , 2 coax to each . Thanks dean Dean C. A 60cm dish with QUATTRO LNB should be fine at your location near Aylesbury. http://www.satcure.net/accs/dish_60cm.htm You'll need a 16 output multiswitch. http://www.satcure.net/accs/page1b.htm#multiswitches The 5x16 versions include an aerial input but, if you connect the aerial, you'll need "Triplex" wall plates to separate the signals in each room. Recommend using four colours of WF100 to connect LNB to multiswitch OR be sure to label each end of each cable. Previously, I had Webro WF100 cables running directly from my Sky LNB to my Digiboxes, lengths were around 15 metres. After SAT039176 project, I have Webro WF100 cables running from my Sky LNB to PLATE5F, cable length around 14 metres and then from this PLATE5F to another PLATE5F cable length around 13 metres and finally to my Digibox cable length around 1.5m. As a result, my digiboxes often shows no satellite signal in the mornings after stand-by - otherwise the indicator on the digibox shows low of signal strength (and quality). So you've increased your cable length from 15m to 28.5m and added a connection. If we assume 0.27dB loss per metre of WF100 plus 2dB for the connection, you have added an attenuation of 5.6dB. This will obviously decrease the signal strength and quality indication at your Digibox but, unless the signal was already borderline, it will not have any effect other than to reduce your "rain threshold" slightly. It can be balanced out by using the next size larger dish. Will 88673 Vision V60-100 17-22dB L.N.B. amp (or) GLO32 Global TVRO20F 20dB flat gain L.N.B. amp (or anything else) help in any way. If so, which one and where should I place it. Will it increase both strength and quality of signal. See http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/lnbamps.htm If I do need this, I have an Octo which means I have 8 cables running from my LNB. So do I need 8 or can anything else be done (including a discount please after SAT039176 order). You would need one for each cable. A dish is probably cheaper if you are having problems with rain. We do sometimes give discount for large quantities. That is one issue. Here is the other. From the SAT039176 project I have RF2 out from my digiboxes feeding into SPC4 and then into F280. The RF2 power from the digiboxes are turned on and I get good reception of these digiboxes from the TV's around the house, However, when I connect the cable from the roof antenna into the my first digibox to allow terrestrial signal to my tv's, all pictures are blurred/very grainy &endash; both from digiboxes and terrestrial tv. To experiment, I placed an extension to my roof antenna cable with a cheap quality cable and re-connected to my first digibox RF In. As a result, all signals are good. Does this mean that I could benefit from an attenuator (or anything else) to be placed prior to RF IN entry to my first digibox before distribution to other TV's via SPC4 and F280. If so which should I buy (variable or not) and does it work for both analogue and Freeview. That was a clever test and it does indicate that an attenuator would help. You can work out the amount of attenuation required by calculating the attenuation caused by the cable that you used. You haven't stated its attenuation factor but it's going to be higher than that of WF100, which is typically 0.15dB/metre at 600MHz. Let's guess at 0.2dB/m and let's guess that the length you used is 20m. The result is 0.2 x 20 = 4dB. So you'd need a 4dB attenuator in this example. We stock variable attenuators which should do the job perfectly and allow for adjustment at "DSO" (Digital Switch Over) time. http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page15a.htm#variable Equipment made by: Panasonic Sky Model number on label or rear panel: none I live in an apartment in Manchester that uses a multiplex system. The apartment is wired for TV and Sky, with both signals being sent down the same cable from the main distribution point in the building. The main cable is split and diplexed in my apartment (in the store room), and then sent to 3 TV points, with only one TV point receiving the dual TV / Sky signal (again sent down one cable). I have moved the postition of my main TV (which has the Sky box under it) and therefore switched which of the 3 TV points received the dual TV / Sky signal (all 3 TV point cables terminate in the store room in my apartment, so I just switched the connections over). I am not sure if this cable is of the same quality of the original dual TV / Sky cable (and it would be impossible to change). Sky now works fine on most channels, however on many channels the picture sometimes freezes or break ups into blocks, and the sound drops out. I have tried 3 different set top boxes. This happens on a white Amstrad one, and on some channels it displays "no satellite signal being received". It also happens on a grey Panasonic one, but this one rarely displays "no satellite signal being received". A black Thomson box works perfectly on all channels, but is very slow at changing channels (I understand it has always been slow - old design?). On all boxes the signal strength is 80% +, and quality is 70% +, but it appears the Thomson has a more sensitive tuner, even though the signal is good enough for most channels on all boxes. Is there a way to get my newer (and faster) Panasonic box to pick up all the channels like the Thomson one (i.e. can you fit an uprated tuner)? No, we don't do repairs or modifications but in any case no such tuner exists. What do you think could be the cause of the signal drop outs? Incorrect cable. If you know anything about cars, this is like hammering the exhaust pipe down to half its diameter, then complaining about lack of power at 3000 and 6000 rpm, and asking if a better air filter will cure it! Cable can cause many problems due to incorrect VSWR and reflections/losses at specific frequencies, which would explain why performance of various Digiboxes is inconsistent on your system. You might find that adding another metre or two of cable (to change the overall length) will make a difference to which channels work OK. But it's unlikely that you'll ever get it to work on all channels without running another cable (along skirting boards, under the floor and/or above the ceiling). Even our thin WF65 "shotgun" cable will probably perform better than what you have now. Hi Thanks very much for the fast and reasonably priced service. The kit worked a treat and the instructions very clear. Thanks again Derek ps will recommend you to my friends Feedback: I can highly recommend Nigel Sims in South Wales.

Hi Martin, I hope you can offer some guidance to my queries - even though I know, - from having read your newsletter for several years - you often bemoan numpties like me for asking generalised/vague questions and not supplying sufficient technical information! :-) - I will *try* to be as specific and detailed as as I can, - but my query revolves around re-using some kit that is *years* old, for which I no longer have the documentation, and at my age, the memory is a bit vague...
Anyway, remove the two bolts that clamp the LNB and locate suitable replacements if necessary. 
I have an old satellite dish installed, I think the LNB has failed as no
My location is: AB33
My location is: BS21
I currently have an old aerial using old aerial cabling in my loft. It has a loft amplifier today.
I have a tlewest cable TV box originally installed around 2002/2003, I want to move the TV to a different part of the room but the cabling is under laminate flooring.
This is a lengthy question with a fairly short answer but this is how I like it and I think it's interesting!

Happy Customers
PSU Repair
On 2nd June you were kind enough to provide me with free info on how to reconnect a magic eye for an upstairs TV after I had to have a replacement box. Nobody else was offering any help (including Sky) but your advice worked first time. I really cannot thank you enough for something which to you was probably child's play but for me was a source of annoyance. If ever you need any help from a Chartered Surveyor, especially on party wall issues, it's yours. Very many thanks.
Many thanks for your fast process of my order of yesterday. I have fitted the kit and now have my Sky plus box working again perfectly.
