- since 2006 ( I think ! )
having zapped my control box on my Oyster Vision system ( it got spiked ) I was forced to upgrade to a Vision II+ Oyster controller
Not cheap by by heck !! Glad it happened in one way as it now locks on SO much faster, and thanks to doing it all myself, I know how to programe the thing for any sat. out there ( that is in range ! )
The upgrade was fairly simple.. More or less remove the old controller, and plug in the new control.
The actual physical work consisted of:
Stripping back the huge thick multicore wire a few inches as the plug in points for the coax and the control lines from the dish are much further apart on the new controller
Screwing the control to the wall where the old one was
Screwing the remote push button control box that does it all to the wall
programing the control box to work with the Vision dish
All the above was both simple and quick thanks in main to instructions supplied by Paul from Rob Jacksons :thumb:
