Read before returning ***** - I already did a positive review on this product but then had a problem. What I discovered may be of use to other purchasers. After three tests at home I installed the SNIPE3 on the roof of my boat. I tested it twice with Astra2 and it was perfect. Job done I thought. Later, after tidying up the wiring inside I tested it again and suddenly all was not well at all. As described by others the gearboxes sounded like bags of nails, the unit would not home correctly and would only sometimes seek to Astra2. I spent an hour trying all sorts of things including checking the in-line connectors. All to no avail. I started to think about de-commissioning and returning the unit. I am an electronics engineer so I took a look at the multi-way plug at the rear of the controller. The plug has a locking barb on it. It takes a lot of force to insert the plug and I was wary of breaking the socket inside. I noticed that the plug was not fully inserted by about 0.5mm. I carefully pushed the plug until the barb clicked and switched everything back on. The result was a perfect system again. It finds Astra2 and homes every time. I re-tested at least a dozen times including waiting for half an hour before the final test. It worked perfectly then and continues to do so. The dish mechanism has a number of motors to move the dish and sensors to detect where the dish and arm and turntable are. All of those connections go to the controller via the multi-way plug. If the plug is not fully inserted then some circuits are not made and the system just keeps on trying. The unit isn't smart enough to tell you that it cannot find a sensor or the motor connection is bad. I have passed my findings to the manufacturer as I am sure that a number of so-called faulty units were actually ok but this connector issue was not discovered.

Don't buy it **Q: Does this work with sky Q?** A: No. Sky Q receivers are designed to work with a new wideband LNB. The Snipe unit is not a wideband unit so will not be compatible. **Q: Will this work in france** A: Yes, the snipe works all over and automatically finds the astra and other satellites, we watch our sky programs with our sky box from home, **Q: I read that for hotbird you need 65-70cm dish size in the uk. question is can it catch hotbird, hellas sat, turksat, etc fully with decent signal %?!** A: Sorry, I don’t know, I only use Astra 2 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **** Follow up information for users with problem units.

The Snipe 3 was purchased to replace the original Status terrestrial aerial, fitted to my 2007 Elddis Autoquest motorhome. Initially for use in the UK, although we shall be venturing abroard later in the year. The Snipe3 was delivered promptly in very robust cardboard packaging so very little chance of damage. A good instruction manual written in good English is included, fitting will require the purchase of adhesive such as Sikaflex, (other adhesives are available!), as well as masking tape, roof cleaning materials, abrasive paper etc. Perhaps the inclusion of a template for the mounting plate might have been useful. I have cabled the dish up and done a test scan on the front lawn, all the mechanics seem to be working fine, and the dish controller has been updated with new firmware from the Selfsat website, all this info is available in the manual. One observation is that the controller lead out of the dish is quite short, before it connects to the Molex connector on the 7m controller extension lead. I intend to mount the dish in the middle of the roof, so I really need a longer length of lead to extend towards the side of the van so that I can get the controller lead directly into the cupboard space, there is a very good cable holder and gland supplied for this transfer from roof to interior, but nothing to protect the Molex coupling if you need a longer travel across the roof with the controller cable. I contacted Selfsat Customer Services in South Korea, they were no help at all and would not allow me to purchase another cable holder and gland, So, I have opted for a Raytech Gel Line box, ordered from eBay to give IPX 8 weather protection to the Molex.
