    Would like to change receiver...

    I got it working! That's two whole Saturday's I've spent pfaffing! It was just the firmware, once updated it was a doddle! Thank you all, I am now a relatively happy bunny... Now realising I would like a box that can record two channels whilst watching another...! Ah well, I shall leave that...

    German TV on Sky satellite with separate receivers...?

    Yeah, that's me being fancy! Just another picture on top of the other one. Too cool for school me! :D AND I got the PVR working... I will rule the world!

    German TV on Sky satellite with separate receivers...?

    Mystery solved! Husband just went up on the roof to take a look and there is a dish hidden between the chimneys and the cable work is so neatly done that it crosses the roof and then runs down the back of the gutter pipe around the satellite dish (hence looking like it's on the dish) and going...

    German TV on Sky satellite with separate receivers...?

    I thought I was confused before but I'm totally baffled now! There is absolutely, categorically no other dish on my house! I have a normal Sky+ HD satellite system that has been there for years downstairs. I do not have cable TV of any kind. The German HD satellite FTA was only installed...

    German TV on Sky satellite with separate receivers...?

    It's ok - it must be the deep voice! lol :p There is no other dish on my house - just the one. I might just have to man up (!) and call them and ask what they did.

    German TV on Sky satellite with separate receivers...?

    I have trailed the wire with the red spots to the dish so you can see. I have Sky UK with the dish that it came with originally with it's own Sky Plus receiver in the living room and I now have the German receiver in my room upstairs. All the other wires on the house are ethernet cables. The...

    German TV on Sky satellite with separate receivers...?

    I've just had a good look around the house back and front and there is nothing anywhere. I also got my husband to follow the wire and it definitely goes into the Sky dish less than 10 meters away. There is only one LNB on it. There was an option to add FTA UK channels for an extra £95 which I...

    German TV on Sky satellite with separate receivers...?

    I had ordered a German HD TV satellite set up which was installed last week. I asked for it to be on a separate dish out of view from the street because I live in a conservation area. We already have a Sky dish that was erected before the area was changed which was allowed after much...

    Would like to change receiver...

    I have no idea about any of this unfortunately and the manual is pretty much not worth the paper it's printed on - there isn't even a manufacturers website mentioned in it, I had to search for ages to find what I did. I'll do some more research as I don't like to be beaten by machines! lol I...

    Would like to change receiver...

    Thanks! I bought an external Samsung M3 portable USB drive which is 1TB and formatted it to FAT32 on the computer and when that didn't do anything I found out how to do it on the receiver but after about 6 hours of trying to get the stupid thing to work by Googling and trial and error and I...

    Would like to change receiver...

    Hi! I have recently had installed a 'Head Medialink Black Panther 1card Premium S2 + IPTV (PVR ready)' receiver with a 45cm dish set up for German TV (HD). I have no complaints with regard to the channels I can receive but I don't like the receiver! I was told that I can add an HDD to it as...
