Office block service call, Multiswitch replaced to restore satellite signals
Same type of equipment in communal distribution systems in flats and appartments with one dish and aerial feeding multiple dwellings
Here we have two satellite dished mounted high on a house because trees were blocking the signal.
Sometimes even this type of installation wont get you signal if the trees are close and tall you may have to find alternative TV serviced via terrestrial Aerial.
The customer has SKY Plus HD and polish satellite which are on two different satellites.
This was an unusual request and not the typical call out i get (usually caravanners dont bother fixing these things), this had failed because the software could no longer locate the satellite due to it requiring a firmware update, something i only found out after sorting the mechanical issue caused by the out of date software.
I had to re fit the toothed rubber drive belt and update the software for the customer.
Luckily the information was available on the internet after a little searching. The customer had no idea about the software update requirement and just let the dish rotate back and forth until the belt came off.
All was well when i drove away.
