Spoke too soon, me and my big gob. Nova is down, looks like it might be a bit more permanent.

Indeed...I did pay top dollar for my gamma about a year ago but it has been worth it. Fortunately I managed to sell the diablo to fund it.

Hi Chaps I've just started looking into the linux stb arena. I don't subscribe to any cards packages and am therefore not interested in card sharing. My question is this, is there enough out there "freely" available to warrant buying a dreambox? At the moment I'm patching my TM for a bit of...

Don't know name of dish its old been up for over 10 years but site is exposed, not above roof line but house is high compared to surroundings. No trouble in that time.

I'm still slightly concerned about stress caused by driving a heavy steal dish is the Motec up to it?

Thanks chaps...price differential is significant...Motec it is then.

1.0 mtre steel dish and exposed. I thought I needed metal geared motor because of site and weight. Some OPs have been claiming noise as an issue with the Dark motor. Equally I dont want the gears stripped in 3 months. I dont really want to spend more than £70.00. After reviewing posts the 3...

Thanks for advice...I will check other posts to find out how to do it.

If I can get away with just adding a motor and brackets are there any compatibility issues? The dish is mounted on a heavy duty L bracket, I would say it is at least 50mm in diameter if not wider.

Yes quite exposed...I don't know if it is particularly good quality because there are no visible markings but it has been up for over 10years without probs other than to replace lnbs when swithcing to digital.

Hi I'm going to upgrade my current 1.0m static dish with a motorised system. There are plenty of kits available on the market with an assortment of sized dishes. Usually with kits there is a compromise somewhere. Any recommendations for any systems? My site is south facing with a generally...

Hi I'm looking to purchase a new receiver probably Technomate 5400CI, some online suppliers offer these machines with inbuilt CAMS some that come fully patched with memory stick full of instructions of how and where to patch. If a fully patched machine allows access anyway is there any...
