Try it yourself its not that hard ! within a hour you could be up and running! and it will give you the confidence to swig it around to different satellites manualy or do any upgrades you may consider in years to come, Many satellite users are afraid to touch there Satellite dishes or go messing with it !

Honestly try it yourself first, if not then call someone but at least give it a try... there is more than just Sky up there

I'd have to agree with Alun, and say give it a go yourself first. That is as long as you are happy on a ladder if you need one!

Anyway, there is an installer on Belfast Gumtree. His name is Tim. You will see his ad on the front page, look for a TV aerial! I emailed him out of curiosity to get a price and he was very reasonable.

As it turns out I did it myself and saved the few quid I'd have paid him

i have it setup ok but i just cant get it to tune in and lock on certain satellitres like 4.8e and 30w and stuff.i have a dreambox 600 pvr.

Did you follow the many guides to setting up a motorised system?

Have you made sure that your pole is 100% straight all around?

What size of dish are you using?

When you say you can't get a lock on those satellites, does the motor turn the dish to them?

30W is a fairly strong satellite so if you aren't getting it then it is most likely a simple problem like alignment, or your channel list settings.

Edit: it may be worth changing the title of this post if possible, or starting a new one stating that you can't get those satellites. You may get more replies...

I have a 1.1 dish. on the satellites like 4.8e when i try and select a channel from this it says motor is turning but it just keeps saying that and when i go and try and move the motor to the position it never locks on. im in n.ireland also

[socktug]

Is the motor actually moving from the last position to 4.8E. or is it saying motor moving, but nothing is actually happening?

[hitman07]

its saying motor moving but nothings happening

[socktug]

OK, it's most likely your setup then.

Make sure that your satellites.xml is a fairly up to date one, and then go into your receivers menu and manually add the satellite 4.8E.

What I think is happening is that you have a channel list that says 4.8E but the receiver has 5E so it gets confused.

I'm not sure if yours is similar to mine but if it is then you need to do the following.

Press Menu>>button 6>>then scroll to and select satellites and transponders.
Click on Satellite configuration then press yellow buton for New.
A new drop down box will be highlighted. Use that one and select 4.8E. Press green to save it, exit out of menus then reboot your receiver.

Once you do that, check to see it works.

[socktug]

Lol, i'm going out later, but I'm sure that the many mad people on here will be able to keep you right!

Hope you get it sorted.
