This is the video from Tim at TSW Comsat who sell the Multimo Portable Satellite Dish

Multimo

The problem seems to arise from the close proximity of the Astra 1 and Astra 2 satellites.

However this is the solution I find works the best.

SatFinder

When using the Multimo dish, you have to use a satellite finder to locate the satellite. This is relativly easy by turning the satellite finder up until it makes a noise and all the lights are illuminated.

Next turn down the Satfinder until it stops making a noise. THE TIP IS : Turn the Satfinder down an 1/8 of a turn further.

The reason for doing this is to reduce the sensitivity of the finder as the signal from Astra1 is weaker than the signal of the Astra 2 satellite. EASY

One more tip – If you are in the United Kingdom, set the hight of the dish to 23 degrees on the slide at the side.

Job Done.

Now branded OYSTER, the company produces a large range of systems for all types of vehicles.

We are going to take a look at several systems in detail over the next few weeks, starting with the Caro Oyster Satellite system.

Oyster Caro Satellite System

The Oyster Caro satellite system is flat which reduces the profile on your vehicle.

This system is also able to cover a good footprint area given the size of the dish.

What Vehicle is the Oyster Caro Suitable for?

The Caro can be used on almost every vehicle and makes a great motorhome satellite system, caravan satellite system and even a super little system for narrowboats.

The dish is operated from inside the vehicle using a single button and a easy to use on screen menu system.
