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

A big thanks to Chris, Rolf & the guys at the data centre for all their hard work over the last couple of weeks trying to keep us up and running.

Believe me - behind the scenes there has been a LOT of hard work configuring filters and blocking the hijacked zombie bots that have been attacking us.

Analogue forever!

My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.

They have to wait for the infected computers to be switched on by their owners, hence why there are unaffected periods very late night and very early morning.

PS. Have to correct the comment above, It is only Chris and the server management team who are working to counter this threat, it is way above my pay grade.
