[QUOTE="joneshomebody, post: 810581, member: 390305"] Thanks for the responses. The box has so far has had no trouble powering the motor and the dish does move as it should, albeit slowly. I have now managed to persuade the box that Astra 1 and Astra 2 are not the same satellite, there was an uncanny similarity between the scanned channels which gave me a clue. So the box is fine but no real EPG and it is clunky to set up. It seems only to list and recognise the four (?) sats I listed earlier, God knows why Eurobird is listed together with Astra 2 and separately as sat 4 in the list, so far I can find no way of editing the list or adding sats. Conclusion is that it really is a budget box , capable of powering a dizzy motor and receiving English language free to air in HD of reasonable quality at 1080, paperwork could be more comprehensive and support is, at present, poor,:) [/QUOTE]
