Onoff Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I found it very easy to line up Astra 1 but Astra 2 was a pig to lock onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) There is bound to be a YouTube video or 10 showing how to install and set up a Freesat/sky dish. Wasn't hard to replace mine. I used a meter and short lead to connect it to the LNB at the dish to max out the signal. https://www.toolstation.com/proception-dvbt-and-satellite-finder-meters/p44578?store=K1&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=_dt&pcrid=565612566369&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CjwKCAiArOqOBhBmEiwAsgeLmdhKOpjZDTPLRdnyCmvBd0Q7sZkip2GfT5JttpEpnr_YyYXesz9-SRoCp78QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Edited January 10 by Temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I plug in an aerial, I understand that it converts that signal into a wifi signal, but how do my devices, such as a regular smart TV, pick up that signal https://www.silicondust.com/dvr-service/?_ga=2.173193187.1177182614.1562599479-1613197336.1562599479#devices This lists devices compatible with Silicondust IP tuners. AppleTV or a cheap Amazon FireTV stick will work. They also have a table showing free and premium app difference. You get 24hr EPG free Amazon were planning to launch a similar device but no news for UK yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J1mbo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 FWIW, I removed the UHF and FM aerials from my house is 2016 and haven't once thought 'that would be useful'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
