Afternoon,
My long running saga with freesat continues. The installer finally came, fiddled with the new dish/lnb for a while and reported back that it would have to be moved. So off he went with promise of returning when I laid a new cement pad elsewhere, and basically i've not heard back since (despite emailing)...so I'm doing it myself.
I may/may not have riled his feathers when I pointed out that the previous dish/lnb were of far better quality for the same price as he charged for the new gear...but hey ho!
So, right now the cable in use is this - https://www.2galli.fr/boutique/images_produits/z17vatctwindsh-fm.pdf
1*twin run
1*single run
Now if I can't find anymore of this cable is it ok to use another variety? If so, which?
Also what's the best way to attach the extra 5-6m of cable to the existing cable runs?
Sat meters - A quick run down of what required if anyone would be so kind? Hopefully I'll only need to use it the once, with perhaps a bit of fine tuning in winter if the dish moves a touch. I'm not looking to spend silly money max around 100ish.
As an example, is this ok? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Satellite-...UTF8&qid=1527590172&sr=1-1&keywords=sat+meter
