Not sure I uderstand the question either, but why not use the GNU C compiler (gcc)? It's 100% free, and makes excellent code! :)

Chaps, Joe has released a new version of his CAS patch as I understand. Available on Satdudez I guess...but I have no access, and you can't registerany more... :( Anybody got it, and is willing to share it? Many thanks :)

I got the same problem...can't register with dudez. But I'd like to upgrade to the newer patch since it's got some nice new features! :) Any chance I could get the patch as well?

Here's another site with it on: http://www.maxking.co.uk/smartcardcamfiles.htm

Likvid, I saw a Fibo on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=29783&item=5711471332&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) was going to suggest you put a bid in...but if you're in Sweden maybe that's a bad idea. :( PS. It explains your ö in the first post though. ;)

Rob & BGoneSTICK, I will have to test more, but when I was fiddling with my dish a few weeks ago I managed to get the Sirius test channel on PAL. Which is on the Nordic beam! :) Soon weekend... ;)

Many thanks to all of you for the answers. Stephen, if you get it GY on an 80cm dish, I might actually stand a chance with my 90cm in Ely! :) Well, you can only experiment...and maybe I just might be in luck!

Just a quick one... ;) Is a 90 cm dish large enough to get the nordic beam of Sirius in East Anglia? According to Sirius webpage it isn't, but fiddling with the dish I didn't have any problems picking up the test channel on my old trusty Grundig! :)

Just by moving the aerial outside will improve your reception substatially! If all UK signals are band B I'd get an antenna only covering that. If you don't need a wideband antenna, don't get one. You can only get ghost images, etc.

For details, here's the foot print for Astra 19.2E: http://www.ses-astra.com/satellites/footprints.php?sat=8 I agree with rolfw, 50cm dish should work just fine in the south. :)

This sounds more like an aerial problem. What type of aerial have you got? Is it wide band, i.e., channel 21-68. If you are struggling with some of the freeview channels it's likely to be because of one or several of: 1. You have a narrowband antenna 2. The antenna don't have enough gain 3. You...

Hi riophil, Is this the 40cm Sky mini dish? It will work with an analogue receiver, but for Eurosport you'd have to aim it at Astra 19.2E so I think it would probably be too small. For an analogue receiver, try ebay. You can pick them up really cheap there. Just saw a Philips on for "Buy now...

Thanks rolfw! I think I'll go with plan B. Radio isn't essential, but is kind of one of those 'nice to have' features. :)

Hi all! :) Don't really know which forum to post this in so I'll go for this one... I've just recabled my satellite dish, and aerial. Now I want to stick a wallplate up that combines TV/FM(DAB) with a F connector, i.e., a 3 way socket. I thought I had it covered by buying one from Maplin...
