On arriving home after my trip to WA I found that my Satellite Broadband was not working very well or not at all:sadeyes:
After waiting nearly two weeks a repair was done today, all is now in working order:):):)
The culprit for my woes was the receiving horn on the Satellite dish had a fair amount of water in it:eyepop:
It was replaced with a new one, I hope this will be the end of my troubles for a while:thumbsup::thumbsup:

This is a common issue with LNBs. I reckon they make them like that for a reason!

Nasty!
Actually I thought one had crashed in your yard or something.
Sorry.

I would be happy for one to crash into the yard :) as long as it didn't hit the house or the observatory:eyepop:

I know. A little inmarsat or old sputnik-sized one would make a great talking-piece. Don't fancy one of those KH11s tho'!
