Quick question...

Hi all.....

My Spiderbox 7000HD arrives in a couple of days, was wondering....

can i connect to the satellite dish already installed for V Media, in order to watch freesat channels (until I get a motorised dish )

Many thanks y'all

hmmm thats what im clueless about. I had a starview the box usb 2, and it ran off the same satellite.....

Starview the box is most likely a cable receiver.

Do you have a satellite dish on your property?

[platelicker]

yeah i do, the cable i put into the starview came from the dish. Im 99pc sure that starview box was for satellite, i know they have cable boxes too.

Thanks a million for your help guys

There is a starview combo HD box with input for cable and sat.

Problem. Its arrived.

Its saying there is a signal (generally 60-70%) but quality level never goes past two. No channels at all are appearing. I tried it with and without gift, I'm only looking for freesat, at least until I get a motorised dish. Any ideas anyone?

Also, are you sure the dish is pointing to 28.2e? Have a look at other sky dishes in the same area, are they pointing in exactly the same position as yours?!

yeah all the other dishes are pointed pretty much the same way. I know that the dish could be slightly out, but im hoping its something else, cos its pishing rain outside!!
