Hi friends, I am wondering whether there is anything one can do with an Analogue Decoder? Experts can tell us if there is some gadget I can turn it into? I have two which are still heathy. I used mine for just less than three years and few!...no more service-the satellit was closed.

Unfortunately unless you can find any other analogue satellite transmissions, they are of use only as door stops, I've sent several to the tip over the past couple of years.

There are still few satellite channels over Europe, and few weeks ago, one member was looking for spare parts for his analogue receiver so I gave him a link where he can buy a brand new one.

You can try to sell your receivers in the classified section, but the shipment cost might not be worth buying it from you.

Im looking for one but the post wll not make it cost effective
I wish to use it for Amature TV I belive these units used the 23cm
band on Fm but as it will be connected to a standard antenna
i will need a good preamp at 25dB hope my ideas make sence
they have more uses than a door stop
