2 Questions??

FIRE

1: Does anyone know the angles required for a motorised dish in dublin.
I've recently set my dish up again and it's not tracking the arc properly.
If anyone knows these I'd be very grateful indeed.

2: I was recently in England and noticed the Freeview boxes selling at £39.99, (now wait, ) dont shoot me down, but is there any chance one of these would work here in Ireland? Or am I being stupid? I have a TV ariel would it work??

BTW: Does anyone know the frequencies or can point me to a link giving all the uk settings for tv and radio? I've had a look but to no avail. These would also be appreciated.

Maybe if you put it up at the very top of a 200m high mast it might
FreeView boxes only work in the UK, unless you can manage to get a signal from Wales - don't know if / how strong such a signal would be...


For UK TV & Radio settings (I presume you mean sat frequencies) then try www.lyngsat.com/28east.html

Im gonna get a freeview box, as Im moving to the uk next year, just wondered if I should get it now bring it home and have a play with it here.



No, I mean the tv frequencies, I cant get a signal in the house my friend lives in in England. Im tuning an old tv and I need the frequencies to tune it properly. Is there a website that will give me the frequencies for the uk.

Yes - for digital transmitters in the Lincoln area (which to use depends on exactly where your friend lives) - see HERE and, for analogue, see HERE.
