Communal feed U/S?
Hi all...
Advice please...
I have a sinbgle sky dish Communal feed into my flat.
I was using a DVB-s card to watch and record BC-HD stuff, but for about 3 months it appears to be us.
OVer the weekend, I swapped the card into another PC, used a different co-ax fed and the card still does not register any channels.
So I guess the feed is US.
So what are my options?
Have I missed any thing out - are there any other options I have over looked?
How much for a sat install approx? Or would it be better value to get sky to instal the dish on the roof and subscribe for a year rather than pay for the installation my self.
All sensible ideas welcome please
Adrian

So what are my options?
- One is to call the council and see if they can repair it through a contractor?
- Arange my own contractor who will have to laise with the council to gain acces to the roof...
- Call the council and see if i can install a quad LNB on the flat roof of the block. The other blocks have their dishes mounted on the side but due to a tree, I canot follow that option. then i could go Sky HD and/or mutiple DVb-S2 tuners etc in the future.
