Hi,
First post after buying a 5620 a couple of weeks ago. I think I have gone through the usual beginners loop of initial excitement when it arrived followed by serious and frustration when it wouldn't do what it was supposed to and then, the major satisfaction of seeing that black screen come to life!
I spent ages trawling around this and other forums and the real turning point was finding BGonaSTICKs excellent guide to upgrading to Newcamd V5.25 for idiots (Thank you very much!). I used this as a guide for a fresh install of 5.28 in the latest Gemini image and it works a treat. Up untill then (not really knowing anything about Linux or FTP or even Telnet come to that) I had just tried to follow the instructions in the Newcam readme instructions which do not help an idiot one bit.
I am running a fixed dish on Hotbird at the moment and i think I will stick with it as it is until I can be bothered to fix the other LNB on for 19E. The next projects are recording to computer hard drive followed by Burning to DVD and if I can get my head round it (and find the relevant files) I am ging to try and make it work with my $ky card.
Couldnt have done it with out all the great info on here - many thanks.
