My Satellite Setup
Technomate dish and techno mate tm5300d+ m2 super+
My Location
London
Hi,

Today i found a bag with two satellite recievers one being a techno mate tm5300d+ m2 super+ i also have a dish on my house that says 'technomate' not sure if its motorish? Does this matter? How can i find out?

Also is it worthwhile my time even messing with this box? Its it outdated tech or can i get free channels of this thing

If so can you point me in the right direction please

The boxes have two cards in them they say 'viaccess.orca'

?????

Thanks

Aaron
 
You can still buy the Technomate TM-5300 D M2 Super+ Digital Satellite Receiver, so it should be capable of receiving quite a few channels.
Is there a cable, from the dish, going into the house?
If possible please upload some pictures, of the dish/LNB, and check if any cable is still alright, and not damaged.
 
I have a couple here, requiring remotes but they are/were good as standard definition receivers.
A completely different menu structure from the other TM receivers I have used though (1500/5402/6800)
 
I have the cable from the dish running into my house. It seems good. Ill upload a picture of the dish tomorrow for you

Thanls

... interesting

TM dish .......webp
 
The cable, and dish, look fine.
I'd try connecting your receiver, to the incoming cable, and check what channels scan in.
 
Thanks for the input.

I will plug it in tomorrow and see what happens
 
Well, I don't see a motor through the perforations of the dish.
But it is not 100% clear; a photo from the side would be better for that.

Ok i will take a better picture

Does it matter if it is motorised or not?
 
All a motor does is move the dish so that it tracks the satellite arc, so you can view more satellites, generally from 30W to 52E.
Once you do a scan we'll be able to find out which satellite your dish is pointing at, probably 19.2E, 13E or 28.2E.
 
I don't see a motor there, but if the receivers are already sending data that activates movement on a different system, the dish might not pick up any signal.
 
Hi sorry for the late reply i did a scan and only got free channels on 13e satellite.

It found 230 free to air channels but how do i get the encrypted ones.

I checked the other satellites of which some had good signal but none of the others found any channels

My card is via access but none of those channels scanned

Is the card up to date?

Is the subscription still valid on it??

Is the channel list up to date? Channels move around.

Are you pointing at the right satellite?!

Lets start with
Which service is your viaccess card valid for

Not sure i found the box and the card.

Not sure how do i find this out

Is the channel list up to date? Channels move around.

I did a scan and it picked up 230 free to air channels these are up to date a working but i didnt pick up any encrypted channels

Are you pointing at the right satellite?!
Im guessing its pointed to the 13e satellite as im getting 230 free channels on there

Take pictures of the card including the subscription number
 
Those signal quality readings are poor, which possibly means that the dish has moved, and might explain why you're not getting all the channels.
Can you please post some of the channels, you're able to view, along with the transponder, polarity, and S/R (Symbol Rate)
e.g. Fashion One Europe 10815 H 27500 DVB-S
