Title: DIY installation of Ka tooway system Post by skipper on May 30th, 2011 at 5:34pm
Hi All,
New to this forum living in rural Spain and I'm looking for some advise on installing a Tooway Ka system? I've done TV sat. installs previously and know my way round aiming a dish, So... Firstly where is the best place to buy the equipment from? Next when it comes to the setup, what type of sat. finder/meter can be used? as I think the Ka band is a higher frequency than the usual sat. tv finders are capable of? And how or must you set up a contract for the service, if so how? Many thanks! hoping someone can point me in the right direction |

hi, well the new system is good news for you as you don't need a meter. once connected to the modem the lnb (or tria) on the dish gives off a tone which increases as you lock on to the satellite. you just need to ensure you have a good line of site on a bearing of 167 degrees

That seems simple, I assume you are able to turn the tone on and off? I read somewhere that there is a way of displaying the signal spectrum on a laptop direct from the modem is this correct?
Thanks for the info. Regards |
