Got an offer of a brand new Techie 5500 plus Matrix cam for £175. Worth it? All then I would need is a dish, lnb and motor, yes? what about a positioner? I have an elvis, would I need another programmer? I read that these dont need a card, is that correct or is it just a card for conex? Is that a Titanium card then? I live in Glasgow, so should a 1m dish be enough? If knobbys site shows a game FTA does that mean its available to watch by everyone without a decryption method? thanks

It is always hard to say yes to a deal on a reciver as all people have their ideas on what is good and what is bad. But the TM has a good name and with the MR will pull in a lot of channels. The MR will do all hacked channels, no card needed. But for stuff in conax you need a titanium card, this goes into the MR and works fine.

If a channel is FTA...Yes is is viewable by all...no cards needed.

m8, is a mini dish used for sky digi any use here?can it be motorised? is the lnb ok to use?

The Sky minidish is probably too small for what you require, it is possible to use the zone 2 minidish on a DiseqC motor if you doctor the skew setting on the LNB. You cannot use the LNb on another dish.
