www.duwgati.com is a good site for info on programmers and cards Waverider, there is a glossary of satellite terms in the FAQ section here as well.

PS. Humax just means Humax.

Thanks rolfw....perhaps it might be a good idea to put a link up near Nobbly's page for reference....for people like myself just getting into sat systems

We're happy to point people in the right direction Waverider, for every one person posting a question, there are probably 10 others looking for the same answer.

guess your right rolfw .....as i said before i'm good with nuts and bolts...and normaly once i get stuck into something i learn pretty fast.....(been a mechinic for past 32 years!)..... it's just that i try to take in too much too soon through being eager....and like any field there always has to be jargon of some kind!

Oh by the way rolfw that last post gives me an idea :-)
....why does'nt someone on here compile some sort of workshop manual ...you know...tech data and that sort of stuff, thats easy to follow for the beginner? ...waverider
