Fiddling on the Roof.



Lady Magnon has been following a particular play on TV, and she was extremely annoyed when our Satellite TV failed. It looked for a while as if she would miss her final revealing episode.

There were nasty storms in the UK, and we did think it might have been related, but I asked around and others had no problem with their Sky reception.

So, we started to hunt for the problem. We started with all the connections at the back of the various boxes; nothing. We re-wired certain bits that looked as if they needed re-wiring; nothing.  Next we went up onto the roof to check that the dish hadn't moved; all looked OK.

Then Wills (my youngest) asked if there were any connectors between the dish and the Sky box; yes there were TWO. The coaxial cable was in three separate bits, connected by two lots of connectors; the first one was fine, but the second one was found to be totally corroded; we'd found the problem. We didn't have any spare connectors so Wills fiddled with the wires, twisting them together in a Heath Robinson fashion. It worked. We'll fix it properly later!

Amazing, isn't it; the very last thing that could possibly have been at fault, and there it was!

  1. I've been known to twist mains cables together in Heath Robinson fashion. Always cover them in lots of insulating tape though.

    1. We did. It doesn't look very pretty, but it does the job.

  2. We just blew a fuse! Not ten minutes ago. Vacuum cleaner exuberance on somebody’s part 🌪 or maybe it’s ready to give up the ghost.

  4. We have cable TV which has been causing us a lot of problems lately. It is very frustrating (and expensive). We have now gone with ROKU streaming through the Internet and everything is working much better.

    1. We have a ROKU box, and also a Seagate box which stores programmes. More than enough I think.
