Very useful for me, I lost the signal to my dish and on inspection discovered the exact damage you had on your LNB, have yet to buy a new one but going for an octo, is there anything I should know about which one to buy
my neighbour if building an extension and it has just got to the height of my sky dish. Now I am getting the no signal message, presumably I will have to have my dish repositioned. I am afraid that I don't have the confidence to do it my self
@@jimc2676 always best to get a satellite engineer in as it requires very fine adjustment to get optimal reception. You could have a chat with your neighbour. Maybe they would pay to put it right.
Trying to watch the England match tonight on itv unfortunately no signal, as I'm watching your video it started pouring with rain and just like that the signal came back, time will tell if it stays... Thanks for the info much appreciated.
Greetings Sir. I was into FTA back in 2010 .I used two sonicview SV-8000hd receivers.One of them has the 8psk module. I pulled them both out of the closet last week and they work fine. Question. Are my two receivers outdated to use today for FTA?
Wouldn't really say it's complicated lol and wouldn't really say SKY glass or stream is the future you might like it and think it's good but comes down to choice and preferences i like the internet but it'll never be the future for TV and radio always be terrestrial and DAB for me due to sound and picture quality streaming compresses it don't full sound quality and picture but thats my view Jim 👍 just like you are entitled to yours.
@@Kieran-m7f What will happen if they don't replace the satellites when they run out of fuel in 2029? Virgin has used the internet for years and I live in a listed building which doesn't allow dishes so Sky glass worked for me. I also can't get a DAB signal in the house so I am all internet for home phone, Radio and TV and so far very impressed. I have an auto dish on my motorhome so worried what will happen if no new Astra sat is launched. Yes, as you say, we have to go with what works for us.
Thanks Nigel. I will let you know if its working. Yes a few channels are not working so I getting a replacement LNB. All the best for now.
Good job, remember to pull the plastic cover down on the LNB to protect those connectors from the elements.
Good point. Thanks.
Useful info, cheers :)
Not had to get up the ladder for mine yet. I think I'd better check that cover on the feedhorn though...
Good video.
I love all satellite related stuff.
CNN channel 506 is the hardest channel to pick and first to always go off in bad rain I find. I have a 1m dish set up.
Thanks for that. I’ll give it a try.

@@JamesDouglas-nm5fj a universal LNB works fine on Sky HD but for SkyQ you need a wideband. Best do a google search.
Just one thing the connections on the lnb should be sealed with tape or there should be a cover on the lnb itself.
@@1jazzymun Yes there’s a cover on the LNB that I missed pulling down and including in the edit before posting. Thanks for the comment and watching.

Seams very complicated compared to Sky Glass. Connect to Wi-Fi and get every channel perfectly, no matter the weather - it is the future lol.
