Feeling manly tonight. The Freesat box started playing up last week and then we lost most of the channels - the signal strength showing nil on both input channels. I could see the LNB (the bit on the arm in front of the dish) was missing its front cap so went on to Amazon and ordered a new one for just £15. It came today and I shimmied up the ladder with it, plus screwdriver and Stanley knife, and the new one was installed in minutes. Oh yeah. No costly callout fee after playing Russian Roulette with a random tradie from the interweb (or Yellow Pages as we used to say). Might have a beer to celebrate a successful use of ladder/tools.
