Blog Entries: 1 My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue | They are an excellent receiver, if rather slow and dated now. Two of the staff here own them - myself and mod Llew, and Id never get rid of mine. Unless you stick a cam and a card in it theres no chance of opening pay tv - patches are just about unheard of for them. Apart from Eurosport in English theres nothing available in analogue that isnt fta in digital on 19E, and analogue transmissions are steadily decreasing. We expect them to cease in 2010-12 Price - anything up to 100 quid. | ||

My System: Penta 85 | Hi - hope you dont mind a 'newbie' type question. I'm thinking about getting an Echostar 3000-IP and using it with a fixed dish initially until i get up to speed. I'm having a problem with the terminology being used to describe the motorised systems. Is ana actuator the same thing as a motor? Are actuators the predecessors of what i'm seeing now as motors (motech etc). Will an Echostar 3000 be able to drive a 'newer' motor not an actuator? Someone quotes 12v DC out, is this moreorless the standard for a motor if 36v is required for an actuator? Or am i talking complete drivel  Point me in the right direction , pleeeeaaassseee | ||

Fighting the evil 3 Dragons under the Don Quixote banner,Sir Llew persevered where others failed | A motor driven by the Echostar can be either an actuator (using a polar mount for your dish) or something like a Jaeger 99 motor, which doesn't need a special mount like the actuator. Both are driven by the 36V positioner incorporated in the receiver. THe Echostar won't drive Diseqc type motors, as it doesn't have the required Diseqc control output. Llew | ||

Channel changing is relatively slow, but they are ideal first boxes for a beginner to the hobby. | ||

My System: Strong 4375 - 1.8 channel master offset - inverto 0.3 C120 twin and pauxis C band l.n.b.,s - Vantage X221S CI usb - skystar 2 pc card - Technomate 1500 CI super - + fixed dishes |
also the Strong 4375 -- a similar age of reciever -- with more or less the same features --- its last software upgrade gave it diseqc motor control too -- never as popular as the echostar - but a good all round work-horse none the less -- i still have one of each in regular use. regards nelson_b | |||
