hi.. ive just bought a 65cm offset satellite dish.. and LNB, and mounted it..<br /><br />LOCAL OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY (LOF) OF THE LNB IS 10.7 GHZ<br /><br />anyway..<br /><br />a few quick questions i had.<br /><br />can i take my box to a friends house that already has satellite.. and configure the channels in there.. then bring it home, and *move* the dish around until it shows picture..? or is it more complicated than that.. <br /><br />also if the receiver is configured on one lnb, will it make a difference if when i plug it back in to mine, and its a different 1.<br /><br />and also, how long can i run the antenna cable.. or is it like normal tv antenna where it doesnt really matter.<br /><br /><br />and are there any sites i can learn the basics.. i dont want a tutorial to teach me to set up all the equipment, just how the different stuff works.. ive bought all the parts and arent concerned with how long it takes to *set up*, im more interested in learning how it all works at my own pace with trial and error.<br /><br />thanks.!

yep u can take the box to ur friends house and tune it up with the freqs and then go home and search for the sat u want by looking at the signal and quality readings on your reciever <br /><br />what kind of reciever are you using the tarbs box aint the best box to use for these kind of things <br /><br />if your friend has the same lnb LO Freq of 10.7 ( 10700 ) you dnt need to change nothing when u get home but if he is using something like a universal lnb 9.75/10.6 ( 9750/10600 ) or a standard lnb of LO Freq 11.3 ( 11300 ) you will have to set it to 10700 for your lnb ur using at home<br /><br />the cable can run very long without much loss of signal i have a 40 metre cable run and the signal is prefect <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" /> <br /><br />the best place to learn from is forums like this were ppl share there info and you will learn from all that<br /><br />anyway hope that helps <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/default/grin.gif" />

excellent so far so good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <br /><br />i put the dish up..<br /><br />i am buying a receiver on thursday.. and this is worse than buying a car! there are so many out there..<br /><br />what should i be looking for in a box.. names aside, what are the features functions a good box should have. im not looking to spend more than 300$aus.<br /><br />i would appreciate more what to look for in a good box rather than names, and model numbers.. and great forum learnt a lot so far <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />
