Hi Guys,
I bought a second hand Technomate TM-5500 CI Super receiver the other day and linked it to an existing 1metre motorised dish.
I have issues with the following:
1) I can get all the birds around 13 Deg to 28 Deg East, but can't seem to get anything on 1 deg West. Is there a FTA channel still on this bird? I'd like to set up the dish as near due South as possible to let me check I'm tracking on the right arc.
2) Looking at the list of available satellites on this receiver, it seems that it has never been updated. I've looked at the TM website & downloaded the bits & pieces I think I need to update. Can I use a UBS to RS232 cable to transfer the update? Or must I use a cable with RS232 connection on either end?
Thanks & keep up the good work!
