Bought a new Freesat box to replace the old Humax one as the new one uses less power and can record 4 channels simultaneously verses only 2 previously.
Works fine but then I found out I needed a new wideband LNB on my satellite dish to take advantage of the 4 simultaneous channels, no problem as they are only a few quid and my old LNB's collar snapped which had made it a bit intermittent in the rain.
I thought it would simply fit an existing dish but no and I could not use the old collar as its fecked.
Undeterred, I got my hacksaw and stanley knife out.
And fixed it with a few cable ties.
Didn't even need any dish realignment.
Another job done.
