Sorry guys the weather has not let up since Thursday rain and wind most of the time. Currently in the middle of a huge storm and sounds like the roof is about to blow off

Hi Spiff, while I have no idea at the moment about all the latest recievers I am also in the market for a blind scan capable 4K compatible linux box that is cheaper than a VU+. Anything would be an upgrade to me as I currently have an enigma 1 Techomate 9100! If I find out anything myself I will...

LOL no I'm English. I'm been a member here for many years but not been on here much lately. I was basing my signal readings in comparison to what I was getting at the rear of the house (on a pole I put up on another structure) where it can see 30W but not anything else. Out the other side on the...

Hi you are a helpful bunch, ta!. I like the bolts through the wall idea. I will try taking and posting a pic tomorrow. There is no top cap its just a curved render or concrete. By the way I have signal on the meter with the dish on the ground. I suppose I won't know the construction until I...

DAB+ doesn't use less power if all they do is fit more stations in. It has better error correction apparently, though in practice I would say there is no difference if you have a weak signal compared to MP2. Also DAB suffers from poor bitrates used in order to cram in more stations and the audio...

Thanks for the reply, well I don't know what they are. I ought to add it's an Irish house built in 60s. Whatever they used for walls then. Might even be hollow concrete blocks, bearing in mind Irish construction wasn't like the English in the 60s and they still don't use kiln fired bricks even...

I'm no expert on this system I can only speak by my experience of trying to streaming HD video around the house on an internal network over wifi. Even one HD video stream struggles to keep up over my router even on 5GHz. It's a very difficult thing to do, add in wifi signal drop off over...

Hi guys. Moved house to a place with loads of space, huge plot. I have a garden wall looking south built out of concrete blocks and render over the top. At least I think it is, it might be a just formed concrete. The wall is about 3 ft high. Don't want to drill into the house wall as its also...

EDG Nemesis is the an image (there are other ones too) that replaces the standard Technomate software with a modded one that enables you to add softcams and generally provides a better user experience. You don't have to update your image to get a new channel list on. The files should still be...

Hi Sean. I am still using this box when I can be bothered to turn the TV on. I usually don't worry about what the box can scan and instead download the channel lists from vhannibal or similar. Theres even a plugin that does it automatically. I am running the EDG-Nemesis image on it still as I...

Thanks yes I had access to the downloads but for some reason it wouldn't install anything anymore. I think the var got corrupted so I did a factory reset and started again, now things are installing ok

Hello, when I get time to watch TV sometimes I turn on the 9100. Even more occaisonally I have a play to see if any extra channels are clearing. I've got a little back into the box this weekend, getting CCCAM working with a test server. I'm running the box with iboot and 4 images on the sd card...

Hi An elderly friend of mine wants to put up an 80cm motorised. I would do it but its too high up for me - I am useless at anything above 10ft! Its just a first floor flat. Can anyone recommend a good reasonably priced installer or even could do it themselves? Many thanks in advance! Sorry if...

Hi thanks yes I mean my LAN. I want my windows pc's to see it as a shared drive. I want it to perform as a kind of file server. How do I do it?
