[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 820986, member: 312276"] TBH I do not understand why sat-receiver should exert itself to turn antenna, of course it takes lots of power, especially if antenna is 1 meter or even bigger. That is why I prefer polar-mounted systems where receiver just give some protocol 1.2 signals to positioner, and positioner via actuator turns antenna. Everybody knows that DM receivers always had cooling issues and that even more apply to DM800. DM8000 is very good (OK, maybe it was and it still overpriced, however it is not produced anymore), but it is more that 4 years old. Perhaps it is time to think about something at the same level or better. I, personally as a happy DM8000 user, also starting to look for some replacement. By now I see one real pretender to replace DM8k, it is new product with 2 fixed DVB-S2 tuners and 2 empty extension slots, but main improvement of this new receiver is processor, which is 1300 Mhz. Of course Linux and Enigma2 and other good stuff. Software development will come soon that is for sure. Product's name is "GigaBlue HD QUAD Hybrid- HDTV Linux Receiver". And price, less than 400 EUR is sexy enough :-clap [/QUOTE]
