DigitalB is on these frequencies, make sure that you have these in your transponder list. You will need a Conax CAM for the football channels.

Mickha

Which Echostar model do you have as if I remember correctly the grey import boxes had a tuner that couldn't handle the S/R 32000 but the silver boxes could.

It depends on the tuner in your Echostar, there was an offer to upgrade the tuner when this problem was first discovered, when DigitAlb altered their S/R to 32000, if you are on 16E and these channels wont scan in then it is a good chance that your tuner can't handle it, but explore other possibilities first.
Check if you have too many channels scanned in already.
Also try scanning slightly above and below the official frequency, like 11095 V 32000.
You should be able to view My Music, which is FTA on 11092 V 32000.
If your receiver is one of the ones that can't get the 32000 S/R it might be cheaper to buy a second receiver than update the tuner.

hi Mickha, thankyou, I cannot get anwhere near 32000 on my rec, can you please give me a alterative reciever, if I have to pay then so be it would appreciate your guidence on this thankyou again hotkich

Mickha

There are lots of good, cheap receivers available, as well as some top end ones.
Check out the Technomate range, good value, but also look at the Vantage and Dreambox receivers, it all depends on what you want.
There are a few HD receivers available and more due out in the next few months, but if you just want one to last a couple of years try the Technomate 1000 range, you can pick one up very cheaply, get one with a CI slot and a card reader, for future proofing, and the card reader can take a DigitAlb card, once patched.
If you want to experiment a bit there are a few Linux based receivers that are currently quite cheap, including a Dreambox 500, but be careful to avoid the clone models.
It all depends what you want from your receiver and what you are willing to pay, have a read through the forums on the advantages/disadvantages of various receivers.

your infos, to you all for your input thanks a million norman

hotkich

hi all on the digialb question ? just thought I would mention I have purchased a TM7755 2VA 2CI I hope this the one I need ! thanks again norman

Mickha

This model is patchable but I don't kmow if it has a built in card reader so you will require a Conax, or multi cam, like the Dragon, to receive DigitAlb.
You could always contact the supplier and see if a card reader can be integrated into this model, or go for a cheaper 1500 version.
