Fitted a Dome sat yesterday

[Devonlad]

Fitted my Camus 40cm Dome yesterday, went back today run the cables to my new 12v LCD/DVD/Sat Receiver all in one.
Then searched all the sats & loaded them, great piece of kit picked them up in about 30 seconds. :banana:

We had one of these fitted about 2 years ago after getting fed up of never getting a normal tv signal. Sorry to say but i Wish I never bothered. Unless you are a mile away from the nearest tree or post it never gets a signal. We have ended up not using it! When in the van now we don't watch tv at all now.
I hope you have more luck with yours.

When it does work it works great but more often than not it doesn't! I've been told since it's because the dish inside the dome is small? The guy that fit it told me (after he'd fit mine) he fit one and the guy rung to say it wasn't working, he went too him as he was parked up in a lay-by not far off. When he got there he had a look there were no faults but there was a lamppost, so they moved the van 6 foot up the lay-by and it worked. The lamppost was in direct line of the signal. If a lamppost can get in the way there's no chance with a few trees! I think a larger dish has more chance of getting a signal than the little dish inside the dome?

You dont have much luck do you, The one I got is on the recommendation off a friend who is in Spain, Tortosa. & can receive most English channels.
Where mine is parked there is a huge lampost with cameras & searchlights on it, Astra2 is nearly in line of it no probs, you said 2 years ago you got yours mine is
a new model. Remember those phones 2 years ago when the signal was crap, now fine, technology hey ;-)

HI Devonlad - what brand is that all in one TV - sounds very good.

Only the one I found on that auction site was £400!

I am just using an old Sly dish on a pole at the moment, hooked upto the USB TV Stick in to the laptop - to much messing around and too many cables

So this year getting something setup properly - not going for the dome dish just yet.

Just out of interest, how does the dish know were you are? On a Motorized dish at home you have tell it your longitude and latitude, line it up spot on the center of your arc or you will get nothing

Cheers
Matthew

Hi Matthew
The Dome is pre set to I think 7 sats, so whatever one you pick it takes about 30 seconds to pick it up.
Here's the link to the 19" tv with free delivery, superb picture on it.

weve had a camos dome for 4 years now its been great, we even tranfered it to our new van when we changed it. we have been to croatia a couple of time and pisa etc with no problems, we tend to lose bbc1 2 itv and channel 4 around munich but every thing else on our sky box works fine.
