Odd satellite phenomenon.

[barryd]

Nothing wrong but something strange. See if any tech experts can explain this one. Move on about 55 miles from south of Bude in Cornwall to near Woolacombe in Devon. We have an Auto seeking Camos dome on the roof. Normally once parked up I switch it on and it automatically tunes itself in, usually takes 30 seconds to a minute. Today after moving all those miles, I turned it on and the green and yellow lights just came on as if it was already tuned in. No Whirring of the dish or anything. I thought it must be kaput so turned on the TV and its working fine.

So how on earth could that happen? Ive moved on the odd occasion a hundred metres or so and had to retune so I wonder how it could possibly be that the satellite its pointed at is in exactly the same position as it was 55 miles south west of here.

Over to you Satellite nerds!

It’s pretty obvious the satellite’s tracking you.

be concerned, very concerned

Lots of spooky stuff in that area, keep an eye open for a big black limousine with darkened windows…..

There is always the possibility that you could have stopped in a position that has the correct alignement, albeit small chance, If I were you I would buy a lottery ticket.

Its keeping a 360 just in case, incoming.

Well it's very spooky. Where we were parked previously was not far from a huge GCHQ site with huge dishes and domes and stuff. I bet it's something to do with that. Probably being tracked as a known trouble maker I bet.

My Camos Dome does that every time I turn it on, it seems to think it’s got a lock for a few seconds and then it changes it’s mind and goes hunting.

Mines on out of date firmware so takes ages to lock on, must go to roadpro and get it updated!
