the technomate 1500 doesn't have conax embedded , its just got a card reader that will read any of the encryptions except sky uk cards

for your sky uk card to work you will need a dragon cam and to put the sky card back in the sky digibox for it to keep getting the keep alive signal

ive been told by the company i purchsed unit from that has conax patched cam .just wanted to know what it does

 

[wod]

arh they patched the reciever then in that case it will open any channels in conax encryption or allow you to use conax card in it

 

[Lancelot]

then in that case it will open any channels in conax encryption

Yes but, only if the keys are known.
Currently there aren't any public keys for any conax package.

i have a dragon cam on order but what else do i need to view incrited channels or where i can get card for it ;);););) pm would be great

 

[Lancelot]

The technomate when patched will give you the same as a Dragon cam will.
The Digitalb package is in conax and on 16E, but you will need to purchase a card for it from a supplier. As mentioned conax packages are secure for the moment.

wich setting is best disq or usals

UniversalSAtelliteLocatingSystem is an extension of the DigitalsatelliteeqquipmentControl system, but requires a compatible motor and receiver, there is little difference between the two once you have the satellites set up.

i have a few issues with my setup . i have my pole perfectly straight. my latitude set for my location of 55 deg. and sat pointing tru south . i have found thor for referance got 96 signal and 80 qlty . i can pick up 7w nilesat ,5w atlantic. all with good strength and qlty but nothing else in the belt.

one thing i am comfused is about is my declination what should i set this too.

also in my tachomate i have a menu that has all cam names eg viaacces, betacrypt,nagravison, quite a few listed with alphanumeric digits under them what are these for as they can be edited . is this the enbeded cam if so where cani get codes from

thanks

right just gone to lyngsat to check if channels match what ive got depending on satelite and my dish is lined up to thor wich i think its thor but pick up all channels on hispasat . how do i know i got right satelite.

have i lined up to hispasat on my thor channels by mistake

 

[rolfw]

If you are scanning channels which are to be found on Hispasat and you can actually view them, then your dish is pointing at Hispasat. The quickest way to check a satellite, is to scan a predetermined transponder with FTA channels and look to see if the scan finds them.

 

[smokeyUK]

how can i do that with tachomate ive set it to autonavigate blind scan but only get 3 sats

 

[smokeyUK]

bit confused on tachomate ive set it to thor but picking up hispasat channels on what i think is thor . how do i know if i am focusing on the right sat. or will the receiver scan a satelite weather it is the sat i am looking for ie there is no way of finding what sat i am looking at. or should i jusy nudge my sat 30 deg east
