    You might as well have been speaking swhalii. Dumb it down for me, and i'll ask my brother when I see him. He's good at that kind of stuff - contacts wise.

    aye, just re read that post. Twas a bit rushed. Basically i have this box for foreign channels. (i have me own that pulls in the likes of ch4, e4, bbc etc). I need a fella to install it basically, as i dont know where to aim the dish so it gets the satelite, and wil probably make a balls of it. Im looking for the number for this fella called 'tv ted'. Does that sort of stuff, or any other satelite installer. Cant bate free tv :) pisses the ould lad off when he pays for chorus:):P

    where in offaly are ya ive installed one for my missus to and shes polish
    it was cyfra on the 13.0 hotbird satellite
    but theres lots more providers on that satellite aswell
    il set it up for ya if ya like if your close enough that is

    or i can tell ya how to set it up if ya like using the box she has
    ya just have to look at the signal strength in the box settings

    and move dish till its good
    what i did was bring a little telly outside and look at it on the ground while moving the dish its 2 minutes work once the dish is up

    dont be fooled by lads telling ya its very hard to do just to rob 100 or 150 euro off ya
    if ya did one already its the very same for the other
    im in birr

    the dish ya have up is pointing at an astra satellite
    all ya have to do is move the other one about 2 inches left or right at most il check which direction


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,920 ✭✭✭Dusty87


    Well daithi. I have done the astra before grand. I know its simple n all. But havn trouble finding satelite (although i was just fiddling wit it. Im in cloneygowan now. Il get a better dish first. If thats not too far for ya (although i reckon it near an hour) sure we can go for a bird or two afterwards:) tis 'polsat' iv to put in for her, she polish too. She got me the sport package so i may keep her happy:)

    it shows english games at the weekend so its grand
    even though its polish commentary
    but ya get used to it

    thats a deal so if ya bring me for a shot il give ya a hand find the signal its easy to do once the dish is hanging and the cables are connected properly
    what dish are ya using by the way

    ya its not to far from tullamore theres no hassle
    il bring her box as i no how to look at the signal strength on it

    the sky one will work on astra and probably on the hotbird but not sure
    the lidl one will probably do anyway il ask around

    as for when suits i dont mind when suits you
    do ya need it up straight away or maybe this weekend or the weekend after?

    I am acting like a nut.

    Yesterday, I couldn't stop thinking about how much I needed a slice of cheesecake. It was playin in my mind, all day. Then - when I went to get it on my 20 min break - it was raining, and i wouldnt have had time to go all the way there. I started to cry. Over a slice of cheesecake...

    But then I had it for lunch, and cheered right up!!!

    Supermacs muffins and icecream - oh man, sexual!

    how are you and your little woman?
