Snipe 2 problems with locking onto astra 2 (1 Viewer)

[Headrush]

I've had this snipe 2 for at least 3 years. This is the second van it's been fitted to. This is only the second time I've had to update the firmware and its done the trick both times.
If you want to upgrade then the snipe dome is actually approved for fitting to a vehicle now. The snipe 2 was approved then unapproved.
The dome is only a little more cost than the snipe 2.

yes I have dated 19th oct last year, its 2.5 years old bought from Germany , don't know weather to buy a snipe 3 and do a straight swap or bit the bullet and spend £1500 on a better system. I went for snipe 2 just for convenience in uk and northern France, but deep down I no the quality is not there with a snipe . I know I can use data for tv but in Europe 15 g isn't going to get me much tv.
The service and repair of snipe seems to be nil in uk cannot find a thing on the internet regarding repairs , so if I buy another in 2/3 years will I be in same boat.

The advantage of going with another Snipe is that on the roof it's an unbolt the old and bolt on the new and the same with the controller as you can use the existing cabling.

I want to keep low though because of French toll heights

I thought the snipe 3 had a different cable connection to the receiver

It only has one between the dish and controller, then presumably one between the controller and the receiver. The snipe 1/2 version had a separate feed from the dish to the receiver.
It still looks like standard coax with f connectors.

on the back of the receiver it looks like a block connecter

I had seen that some adverts for the V3 were showing the "C" type controller so assumed the cabling would be the same, but having now found a thread on another forum of a V3 install I can see a largish connector which means a biggish hole through the roof.

bigalw35 may be able to advise as he fitted a Snipe 3 to his Hymer last year.
