There is a few good scenic routes throughout these British Isles. Our A66 going from Middlesborough in the east across the Penines and through the Lake District to Workington on the west coast. In Scotland there is the A82 from Glasgow, going up past Loch Lomond, through Glencoe to Fort...

Thanks everyone, I will now attempt to connect the receiver with the Sky dish which is already on the wall, and I will put the Labgear dish and LNB in the van, and when we go away with the van I'll take the box and remote from the house. All this technical stuff is not good for us of the older...

I have just bought a Labgear Satellite Kit from Screwfix and the instruction book is asking to select Transponder parameters along with Frequency and Symbol rate. I have looked on the various web sites advised, but I cannot find this info. Is it listed as something else, or can I just ignore it...
