HI EVERYONE
I have been doing a little bit of Ebay buying over the last week or so. A few days back I noticed a Sagemcom DSI86 Freesat HD box for sale with no remote or power supply being sold for spares so for £9.99 with postage I took a chance on it and it paid off! Fully working and I even did an OTA software upgrade so all good
. The only thing I had to do was to use the internet to find a parental code workaround as someone had obviously used one with their own pass code. But still, that was OK. Also got a new remote and 12V/2A PSU for it.
I also bought myself one of these Maclean MCTV 671 quad LNB's (and yes it was made in China, LOL). It was cheap enough even if it did come from Poland and ready for use in my own stock of LNB's. If one goes down I will fit this one to try it and came to about £13 all totalled. In all, a good week of satellite gear buying
