I've had a bit of a battle with my satellite stuff lately.<br>
<br>
Started when I sold my technisat skystar II pci card. Bad move. From
a stable system that _she_ relied on, I now have just a few channels
on the old PVR-500 working. Bird/sun/rain/wind/poor quality took one
element on my UHF aerial, so Prime is very fuzzy. Another job to do.<br>
<br>
I bought an HVR-4400, but alas the linux support is non existent.
Managed to find an HVR-3000 on trademe. They're fairly sought after,
so wasn't cheap at over $120 very second hand. Currently can't get
that to go. Want to get DVB-T going too, but need that new UHF
aerial first.<br>
<br>
Luckily, a trade in computer came back in with a skystar, so I
thought easy, plug it back and we're working. Not. So I re-aligned
the satellite dish using dishfinder, replaced the (made of flyleads)
cable to the roof with new stuff, but still no lock.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have a satellite signal strength meter that I can
borrow, so I can verify I'm getting good signal to my server? <br>
