frexpt Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Does anyone know whether it is possible to buy one of these in France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Do you mean a sky specific version or a general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frexpt Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 I need two feeds for a Sky Plus box and two for a Humax Foxsat HD box. The LNB I brought from the UK is faulty....only three of the four ports are working. I have swapped the boxes and cables around and our local installer has confirmed it is the LNB that is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 If your dish is a black mesh UK style dish which is wider than it is high you will either have to buy mail order from the UK or visit one of the specialist dealers who set up Sky in France. If on the other heand you have anormal French dish which is taller than it is wide most decent Hypermarkets and electrical shops stock them. The Sky dish has a smaller neck.

frexpt Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 I see! Yes, this is a UK Sky mesh dish, fitted a few years ago, but the new LNB I brought out this time came with a selection of fittings. I am wondering whether it may be worth changing the dish to a larger one at the same time. The Humax reception is 95% strength, 100% quality, but the Sky Plus box is only around 60% strength, 70% quality.Good to know that I should be able to find everything locally. Thanks for the replies.

Anton Redman Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Provided you are not getting artifacts big blocks during high speed action or sport and you are not getting pixiliation ( small splashes of colour) then I would leave well alone.

AnOther Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Just a point, there is no such thing as an HD LNB, nor HD Coax as I've seen advertised. Your standard kit in good condition is all that is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin963 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I was just about to say the same thing AnO. Good for you!And - lest there be any doubt - there is no such thing as a digital aerial, or a digitally enhanced aerial, or digital cable, or the like. So avoid anyone who tries to sell you such nonsense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 How about THIS ONE . It's from eBay UK but he delivers to France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
