I had quite a good Freesat signal at my old house at Plazac, until the pine trees next door began to block out the signal that is. I want to have Freesat back again in my new house and mounted the satellite dish that I sourced from the UK on the wall in readiness a few weeks ago. I haven’t been able to try it out though, because of other priorities and anyway, when I checked the socket that the electrician installed in the living room I found that I needed to buy a new cable with a female connector plug.<\/p>\n
The cable arrived today and late this afternoon I took my satellite finder up to the top of my ladder and aligned the dish as best I could. I then had to take my TV and Humax box into my new living room and run a power cable as well because the house hasn’t yet been connected to electricity. When I connected the system up, it appeared that the channels that were previously stored in the Humax box were still there but with all of the tweaking and fiddling I lost them and had to perform another channel search after I’d got the best signal that I could from the 28.2E satellite that hosts Freesat along with Sky and various other channels.<\/p>\n
Lo and behold, although it was almost impossible to find the optimum alignment because my satellite finder was just too variable and unstable, Freesat came up as before on my TV.<\/p>\n
