Just won this on Ebay... should I be happy?

Hi guys,

What's your opinions on this for the price? I'm very pleased (cheap as chips) but maybe you know something I don't? Please no.... don't ruin my dopamine rush

The receiver is a Manhattan SKYLINE 3000

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.

Well, at £37 total, you really can't go too far wrong. Don't know too much about the receiver but it may be patchable, even if it isn't, you still have a good FTA setup.

Hi rolfw,

Same as I thought then after I won it, I noticed 2CI slots & a card slot! There's a bonus if you ever needed one

Anyone have any opinions on this box? (bad or good)

Looks like you have a bargain there Xeno.
The proof of the pudding will be when you have it all working OK. Let us know how you get on
