Thats a very nice deal. I like those receivers, they are basic but they do the job.2cvbloke said:It's here!!! It's here!!! The camping kit is on sale on the 8th June, for a bargain price of £29.99, just over half the price it was last year!!!

I flashed 2 of them back last summer/ early autumn while Premier were still using hacked encryption.
There are differences between some of the chipsets, meaning that some of them were not quite up to it. I did notice a little freezing on one of the boxes sometimes. Also, if you load the wrong firmware to the wrong chipset its JTAG time.
Its hardly worth it anymore. DigiTV seem to be changing their keys more regularly and they are in the process of a card swap. You might get a few months out of it though.
The info and files are all available on satboard.uk.to. You'll do a bit of chasing your tail around the threads because of how they are structured, but its simple enough in the end.

Haven't got a spare nozzle, the only one I have is attached to the G5...

No satellite gear here, but at my parents' house there is:
Konig 35cm camping dish (horrible, too small)
80cm Silvercrest (lidl)on 13E and 19.2E and a Technomate 5300D+ USB Super.

They've got some in again where I live, as well as some reasonable £10 80cm dishes. Got one of the 80cm dishes for £10, and it picks up stuff quite well, though there does seem to be a very small crack in the LNB holder, it doesn't look like it will cause any problems anytime soon so overall I think it to be a good deal...

Why don't you service it?
That way when it's in 1000 bits & you have scratched your head for a few week & just can't get it back together I can have the nozzle
