Guest Mrs J Johnson Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 We have just returned from france and while we were there we had fitted an alden onesat satellite dish and a french digi box at an un believeable price.We can connect our sky box ok but cannot understand the instructions for the french box. Can any one point us in the right direction(we payed 1000euro's including fitting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roy Hamilton Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 As a last resort it may help to go to http://world.altavista.com/tr and type in what you don't understand in french and ask it to translate in to english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian Kirby Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Have you tried looking on the internet for the french digibox maker's name? If they have a website, you may be able to download english language manuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Have a l;ook at http://www.webnomade.com/campingcar/antcamp1.html This gives an address and an email address. Probably worth sending an email to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neal Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Mrs Johnson I may have mis-understood you but, if you can connect your Sky digibox direct to the sat dish, and you can locate the correct satelite for Sky transmissions, why do you have French instructions to follow? Or are you refering to the instructions needed to actually operate the dish itself? Regards Neal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mrs J Johnson Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I'm actually refering to both,we can raise the dish electrically and tune in to sky by manually pressing the up/down/turn buttons,using our sky box,but getting the dish to locate the satellites semi automatically with the french box is something else. Can anyone help us to understand the functions and controls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petej Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hello Mrs johnson, If you type the following url into babelfish (the website Roy Hamiton mentions) for a translation it might help.. http://www.bctech.fr/satellite/antcamp2.html It might also be worth searching further from the homepage, www.bctech.fr and use the same procedure as above if you find anything else that looks relevant. good luck! pete.

Guest Will Redfearn, Wirral Motorhome Club Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 If your Sky dish works why bother with the French box? It probably has french transponder locations programmed into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
