Does anyone have a particular web site address that shows current news feeds? Seem to remember saw one a few months ago but have lost it. Is there a particurly good sat to check for feeds? Hope this is the correct thread for this. Cheers

yes technosat web site not so clear. Be nice to know from anyone who has one as Im thinking of getting one too. And I currently just have the single LNB. May save Trojan foe Andy some money.

Maybe I have missunderstood but when they say the Technomate is a twin tuner isnt one of them a terrestrial digital freeview tuner? Would it still need more than a single LNB. Can you record one Sat channel whilst watching another Sat channel with the 6900? Im confused now??

Oh well sounded like a good idea when started the thread but I guess you guys are right, there are just too many variables :(

Hi Bouda, As the main of your equipment is Fortec star are you using a Fortec star LNB? I had exactly the same poblem. see http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dish-setup-single-sat-multi-sat-motorised-systems/128721-skew-problem-fortecstar-lnb-fckuvn-icecrypt-0-1db-single-lnb.html

Looking at SatMans improved quality http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/picture-members-setups-general-satellite-installations/130365-triax-td88-vs-fracarro-penta-85-a.html I was wondering if there is a list of typical quality values that should be achieved for say 28.2E, 1W & say 30W or a...

Thank you gents, ill give it a try asap.

-0.7776 degrees long

Great thanks Guys. When you say exactly due south, Ive lined my motor body up with Thor (bbc world) is that ok? If it doesnt store positions does it need a list of sats already in the reciever for the names or is there a code embedded in the transpoder transmissions as to what satellite the...

Before I get a new reciever I want to check my new dish setup with my existing Plaza reciever. Originaly I had an old prime focus and 36v motor so have never used USALS. My manual says it can find up to 40 sats using USALs The sat list in my plaza is old so... do I do a factory reset? will...

Ok Robbo, Good idea, many thanks for your responce

Im just about to put my new system in and will go through the wall. My question is, should I just come through the wall and into the reciever, or for a neater job put a socket on the wall and then a short length from socket to the reciever? With a motorised system would the extra connection...

Thanks Rolf. Does make you wonder though doesnt it, how many poor people are still struggling with this LNB who dont have the benifit of this excellent forum.

Thanks to everyone on this site (Cheers Guys) I now get a signal from the FCkIN LNB. I currently have it on its faint zero marking. My question is assuming I twist it for best quality and signal values on say 1 degree west Thor, will it need to be tweaked again physically for say 28.2 or...

When I got my Manhatten plaza, 2nd hand, there were a couple of channels that were decoded by the Irdeto built in cam. (No card was in so I guess the keys were stored somewhere in the unit). When I upgraded the firmware I lost those channel.:-DOH! Any idea how I might get them back? Ive tried...
