My System: Sky+HD Astra+Hotbird FTA on 60 cm dish | Try Ebay Car boot sales are a good place too as are charity shops who cannot sell electricial goods without testing them. Id even try looking at the local recycling centre seen many boxes in the electronics pile.

My System: [ Relook 250S ] | Echostar, Pace, Drake have some very good receivers. I would go for a Pace one.

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | If you can get one, a Pace MSS300 is the bee's knees, badger's nadgers and goat's gonads all in one, best analogue receiver I've used so far...  As for motorised, the MSS500IP or MSS1000IP (later versions are better I think), but personally, I'd just use a DiSEqC digital receiver with a passthrough to the analogue box...

My System: Sky HD, TM6800HD, Manhattan Plaza ST550 and TM1500 CI+. 1.0m dish and 36v motor, Panasonic DVD HDD recorder and Panasonic video/DVD recorder. Sony G800 HD TV stand/surround system + Sony KDL40W2000. Infinity USB, Elvis, CAS1, CAS2. | You should be able to pick up an Echostar VA3000ip for very little. Then you have digital ...analogue and a motorised positioner all in one box.

My System: Motorised dish, dvd players and recorders; a freeview box, broadband, VCRs, four TVs, mobiles, pcs, a mac, Ipod, digital cameras...the lot! | I threw three analogue and two D2mac receivers/decoders in the skip three months ago. I was sick of them clogging up my spare space. Not worth anything to me, anyway. I tried flogging them, but it was like selling sand to the Arabs. Sorry, if you'd said earlier, as long as you paid the postage, you could have had them. Soz.

My System: 90cm Dish. Dual Lemon LNB for 13E/19E. Twin Output Lemon LNB for 28.8E. Samsung 9500 with 'alternative' firmware. Couple of DigiBoxes. Amateur Radio station. Going Bald with a patient wife! |
Can't agree more - my final ever motorised system used a MSS500 to move the dish - simply select a channel on a bird and name that channel to whatever satellite it is on - so Ch1 is Astra19.2E, Ch2 is Hotbird 13E etc.... Keep your eye on the well known auction site.....they appear on there for pences... Leigh..... | |||
