Satellite Troubles

astroron (Ron) · #1 17-02-2010, 11:35 AM

On arriving home after my trip to WA I found that my Satellite Broadband was not working very well or not at all

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

It was replaced with a new one, I hope this will be the end of my troubles for a while

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

Yeah had mined replaced about a year ago. Fixed all my receiving issues.

I would be happy for one to crash into the yard

as long as it didn't hit the house or the observatory

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