Hi all; Just a quick one.
          We went over to Tryabunna ( Tasmania ) and have done for the last 10 odd years. I do not have a standard television antenna on my caravan as i have always had a Vast sat set up for around 13+  years now. But setting up @ Tryabunna and my meter ( i have a little Labgear SQ702 and has worked floorlessly over the years ) was not responding to the sattilite. Most frustrating to say the least. I know the general direction of the sattilite as i have set up countess time in the same area before and never had a problem. 

On arriving back home last week and as i also have a sat dish on my roof of the man cave i also connected my meter to that dish and had the same responce as what i had in Tryabunna. Some thing has to be wrong. Connecting the dish from the mancave  back into my Vast receiver in the my caravan and all good, i had all of the channels and no problems. I tryed this a couple of time just to make certain that i indeed had a meter that refused to work.

I have since found out the parameters have changed ( as of 01-12-2025 ) for the vast television network and my meter has to be sent back to the manufactures for a firmware upgrade, i was told at no cost, just return postage. 

So i would advise that anyone with one of these little Labgear SQ702 meters to do the same and sent your meter back to the place were it was purchased from or Labgear them self.
