Lee, Sorry not been on the forums for a while. Did you get this sorted? My Wife is also Romanian and we have MaxTV as do some other friends. We are however thinking of switching to DigiTV as it has a better selection and the EPG works which it does not on MaxTV. Let me know if you require...

Sorry for the lack of reply, been on vacation. My Wife is Romanian and we have the subscription through a friend in Romania. We paid for a whole year up front so as not to have any problems. The reception on the main channels is ok (I dont think the transmission is that good) but on HBO...

Why bother with the hack.... For £4 a month. Picture excellent with HB0, Cinimax etc as part of the package. Have to get the card from Romania though!

I take the 3rd if its still available. Have paypal. PM me the payment address. Thx

I went with Chemical Bolts in the end, 5 in total, care taken not to drill right through. They are strong enough to support my weight, although I did not hang on the K mount for very long! ;) . Very easy to use as I went with the glass capsules rather than the tube. As of now I would recommend...

I have the oportunity to get a hand me down Viaccess Red version 4.84 for £10. Would this be suitable for using with my Max Tv viewing card and would I have any compatability issues with my Kaon 570H? Max TV told me to check www.viaccess.com for compatable recievers where they do mention Red...

Thx Burnham Beach but I do not have an embedded cam so I will need to buy something and was wondering if the Dragon 4.1 would be a good choice. DOes not appear that much more expensive than a Viaccess Cam and gives me a lot more!? I have seen there have been some issues using a Dragon and my...

Now I have my system installed and working I can now see that there are a lot of Romanian Channels available with very good signal on Max TV on Sirius 2 at 4.8°E. Although they were clear for a while they are now encoded on Viaccess 2.5 which I believe has not been compromised yet? I can get...

Thanks Lancelot I will check when I get home. I am just about to post a question on help getting Max TV if you have any ideas? Al Pal

Classi and Rolf, Thanks for all your help. Finally got it tracking correctly last night although I have a few dead spots due to a few tree's. Just ordered a 1.5m longer pole which should clear me on the missing satellites. All I now need to do is work out the best way of receiveing some of the...

Anyone else have a SM3D12? Did the settings out the manual get you close? I have an angle finder. Is it possible for me to check the true angle of the disk and if so where should I measure it? Al Pal.

Thx Rolf, wasn't sure if the way up of the elevation bracket was important? I thought it may make a difference when I started moving around. I have a 75% signal on 5w and can pick up most of the channels but when I track I get nothing on the other sats. Should I try adjusting up and down and...

Can someone please explain the scales on my Triax TD88? I never received any assembly or setup instructions in the flatpack (or I threw them away with the packaging?:-DOH! . There are different scales on each side of the dish, my declination according to the details that came with my motor...

Meter powered from the receiver so not that although I did notice that it shows ~12v then 18v after a while. I'll try the attenuation setting in the morning. DId forget to mention that all I am getting on the receiver is 15%. I was hoping I would at least get something! Is there a chance...

Spent a lovely sunny day installing my system and all was going well. Got my pole perfectly vertical. Mounted motor and dish according to the instructions (My Lat is 55.8N and Lon 3.53W so motor set at 56 and dish at 28.2) but when I tried to find 1W I found there was not difference where I...
