The LNB is OK, I have the same one, does the job fine.


The TM3400 should be OK, not used one, but I have a TM1000 and very happy with it.


What channels you get depends where you point the dish? For 28E you will just get the FTA stuff. I think a Sky card also works in the TM3400.

I believe so, but there is nothing doing on 28E, apart from enabling it to read a Sky card. I have not kept up to date with what is available via patches on other satellites, there might be something on 1W, al lot of the stuff that was available has either gon already or is going.
