My System: Echostar DSB-808 Vi2 80cm Dish Motorised, temporally on a 1mt pole mount, (which tracks the arc if the wind blows the right direction.) Pace 2600 (Sky), Infinity usb+Cas3 programers. Dell P4-2.4ghz, 512DDR, 75GB HD Radeon 9800 Graf/Crd. + Ext HD M |
My sat system has been out of action for a while due to house move but I recently blew of the dust & set up a dish to check out what might be available. (I’ve just set up astra/hotbird for now but will hopefully get the motor up on the next free weekend). I was last using a dragon cam but now see that not much is presently available…what I want to know is what’s next? Anyone got a recommendation on the best cam to purchase at the moment? I was using an infinity programmer & T-Rex card to load the dragon.. Thanks in advance.. | ||

Blog Entries: 1 My System: Triple Dragon with HDD/USB stick, Dreambox 8000, Humax HDCI2000, Echostar AD3000ip & SR8700, Aston Simba, RSD ODM300. Swedish Microwave 1.2 Motorised dish / Invacom C120 twin LNB driven by the AD3000. 3 other fixed dishes.  Fighting the evil 3 Dragons under the Don Quixote banner,Sir Llew persevered where others failed | A Diablo CAM would probably be the best choice (A CAS programmer will be necessary for this CAM). Some good openings on 0.8/ 1W using this CAM at present. Either wait until you get motorised, or you could reposition your existing dish. Llew | ||

Also will I have any use for the infinity programer or will this require a cas as well? Cheers, Rock39 | ||

Now with things being tight this looks like a cheeper option than the purchase of the diablo & a cas but I'm getting more confused by the minute..? Anyone using a abracadabra who can point me to a link on how to program the card or can advise on what I will (or wont) be able to recieve if I go down this route? Cheers, Rock39 | ||

My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia.

I can almost guarantee you will not get a reply from anyone here as I do not think anybody has one or even actually seen a photograph of one, therefore nobody knows anything about one, as far as I am concerned it is a red herring which nobody wants to waste their money on for fear of loss of future support and I suggest you do the same. | ||
