Hi Everyone,
I was playing with satellite Tv back when Sky was FREE so I'm getting on a bit and the old grey matter is wearing thin.
Problem: I've had a Manhattan Plaza ST350 for a few years now but haven't used it in about 8yrs so I don't know if it's still a viable project or what.
Can anyone tell me if it is and give some advice as to what I need now to enjoy all that TV.
Along with the receiver, I've got a Dragon Cam with the little SIM card on it and an Infinity USB phoenix compatible card reader/writer, don't know if these are stll viable either.
I'd really appreciate with any help or advice as I've got loads of time on my hands now being a retired Mech Eng and it annoys me to see all this stuff doing nothing, Even have a 90cm Diseqc motorised dish!!!

Many thanks in anicipation.
 
Dragon CAMs open very little these days. Maybe some C+ NL and Bulsatcom channels in Irdeto.

Plenty to be seen FTA, so get going!
 
Yes, indeed - get going!

That 90cm Motorised Dish is well worth installing as it will get you an immense amount of interesting stuff from across your visible Arc.
 
Your profile says you also have a DM500, maybe I'm alone on this but I think you'd be better off using that with your motorised dish? Although I've heard they can be a bit fussy about turning a dish...
 
The Manhattan will cope with an H-H Motor, but the DM500 may well not. The latter could be more trouble than it's worth.

That being said, I had a Manhattan Plaza box (not sure which model) and every time you pressed the off button on the remote you had to rescan and do channel lists again.. Maybe I was just unlucky though.

Think you may have been. My first 'proper' box was a Manhattan Plaza XT - F, it did sterling service until I graduated onto a HD box. Last week I dug it out of the cupboard to lend to a friend, checked it over and it's working and driving a motor flawlessly.

I'll try and find mine tomorrow and see what it's like and what model it is... Think it was a fairly cheap one.

Hmm. One of our Admins had problems uploading pics a day or two ago: I think it was summat to do with out of date Flash.
 
Hi, I have my old Manhattan Plaza ST350 set up in my son-in-law's house, but their dog has chewed the end of the remote!
Can anyone help me find a replacement remote please?
