Newbie Help Please

[hi2shy]

I have been trying to find out some info as I have an old Hyundai HSS 800ci receiver, with a 1m dish, motorised. I've also got the old Aston 1.05 CAM.

My question is, which CAM do I buy now?? Seems so much more confusing nowadays !!

Maybe I'm getting too old for this !!

I can't decide between the Matrix or the Dragon (and there's also the x-cam!!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi hi2shy (sounds chinese)

Unfortunately the channels we used to get are slipping away as they move on to different (and safe) encryption. The dragon will still get TPS and there's a good bit of stuff to watch on there. When you said matrix, was that reloaded or revolution? I think it would be the dragon for me.

I guess this is similar to when s*ca went to s*ca2 !! Maybe there is no point going back down this road again!! But if I do, I will get the Dragon CAM !!

I would be more inclined to dump the HSS800 and get yourself one of the new flashable receivers, most of them for not much more money than a CAM, the Hyundai is now well out of date, very slow, prone to memory loss (I know how it feels) and very limited on channel storage.

New flashable receivers?? I feel really out of date now !! Can you recommend any? Or give me some names so that I can research them?

Technomate or Fortec Star are a good starting point for these type of reciever and both are fairly well supported software wise on the net ;)

Loads of them, Lancelot has mentioned two of the popular ones, but if you have a look in the receiver software section, there is a sticky with software links, and the ones which have independent links are normally flashable.

Thanks guys, I will have a look and re-educate myself !! It's been a long time since I tried this sort of stuff !!
