| 809652 | 2009-09-15 11:53:00 | yeah right ! did someone say "Tui" ? while they do die, true water damage is rare. common faults are due to fitting LNB upside down so water sits in the exposed screws/seals, not sealing plug/cable and plastic cap degrading (UV eats them) letting in water. i see a lot installed upside down with no sealing of the cable/plug. a nice little money earner for ripoff installers ;) I've seen a few of the older ones 'up the right way' and full of water. |

| 809653 | 2009-09-15 12:13:00 | That's for Sky. I think he has a freeview decoder. I am both the original poster and the one who put forward the answer. I only put up the solution I have used in case others have the same question. there is nothing worse than google search giving many forum posts of your problem and no solutions, or the original poster saying "don't worry it works now" and no clue as to the real answer. and yes, this is a freeview system, and the magic I gave in my last post works for me. so... don't worry it works now, my solution is above. |
