[QUOTE="RoninBlackSoul, post: 146040, member: 197996"] Hi, I've been trolling around last fews days trying to get decent consistent info of what I want to setup. I over here in southern Italy working trying to get some decent satellite channels for me and my wife since we can't stand the Italian programming. I bought a Metronic Catalysta FTA Kit (80cm dish, IRD, cables..etc). It works fine but I want more. Basically I want spanish progrmaming for my wife and myself english but I can deal with watching spanish most of the time. I got it narrowed down to 3 birds I want to be on, Astra 19.2E, Hotbird 13E, & Hispasat 30W. I'm currently on Astra and somewhat content with the decent channels. I have another lnb with 6 degree bracket so that I can get the hotbird at the same time. Then a motor in the near future. The problem I want to get a new reciever but I have no idea on what are some of the better entry level units. My budget is up to 200 euro. The Technomate 1500CI Super caught my eye but I want to be sure if there are other comparable units out there. I was initially going to buy an Viewsat but I don't know how it would fare with encryption since being a NA based equipment. Just looking for something powerful but doesn't cost to much. Next thing is I would like to be able to get premium channels (Digital+) by reprogramming the receiver and/or cam/smartcard. I would rather prefer the unit does most of this and I just edit the files then upload. CAMs? No i've been trying to find FAQ's & How-To's on this works but never really found anything. I get the general principle but just lost in areas. Which are some of the better ones that is more adaptable? I see Matrix Reloaded, Reborn, Revolutions, Magic cam, Dragon... I'm lost as to whats going on. Do they require a smartcard along with or its just an add-on? If you got a laptop with pmcia, is that all need to program them or a programmer is also needed? I want to get a good setup that will last me at least a year with a little more than just FTA channels permitting on the type of encryption. Some good advice or good pointer in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
