Thank you BooBoo. I like your Slovenian pad. It is a gorgeous country.

My wifes Slovenian and at one point we almost built a holiday house there (long story ) but we do visit every year. The rolling hills and fresh air are required when you work in the big smoke..

Todays the big day....grrrr

Nah, they're all dead - killed by a mysterious virus lurking in your defunct TV; I think it's called the X Factor, or something.

Mols

LOL... Thankfully I dont think you can get the X-Factor out there. One of the reasons I like to leave the U.K although you can watch Big Brother although its probably the Italian or Serbian version...

Well I guess I just wait a few days for check out now and see if I get any feedback

I'm glad to report that after taking your advice I have rectified the problem myself on my annual vacation trip to the house.

Purchased 20 metres of Sat Cable from Ebay.

I also bought a Portable Satellite Tuning Tool ( First Strike ) to save the cost of paying for a yearly re-tune of the satellite dish. Easily lock on the satellites. Highly recommend if you need to re-tune satellites every year. I have 4 LNBs and found 2 or 3 needed retuning this year.

Then ran the cable down to the bedroom and purchased a new satellite receiver. We now have T.V in the bedroom ready for guest number 6 today.

Damage so far --- A Roof Parasol broken into 3 pieces by some guests who overlooked the high winds.. And a toilet seat broken. I have no idea how..
