Hi Thanks for the info,I didn't know that a Dragon would suppot a Digitalb card,I thought I needed a Conax Cam,very interesting. More research to do. Thank you A

Thanks Maybe an official viewing card such as a Digitalb would suit me better,any comments on these. I am totally new to all this, and some guidance would be appreciated. Alan

Hi All May I ask if there is any benefit in having a Dragon Cam,or does Patching a receiver give the same channels? Thanks A

Been to Alsat,same question applies. I am totally new to this and I wouldn't know how to re install anything if I lost any settings using Alsat Patches. Alan

Hi All My new motorised system is now installed and working fine. I have been to the Technomate website and see that there are updated software pathces for my receiver (1500ci+) If I download and install these,will I lose any of the satellites or settings already in the receiver. It may seem...

Hi Guys Thanks for the replies,I guess I was clutching at straws really,but it would have been helpful had it worked. I have contacted 2 installers via phone message and email,and neither has bothered to reply. Thanks again Alan

Hi All I was going to try and install my system myself,but lack of tools,ladders and bad health will force me to seek help. Problem is,most installers won't do motorised,so if I get my motorised dish all set up by my installer to say Hotbird,as a static install, and then put some power to the...

Hi All Finally purchased my kit and hopefully will have a go at an install this week.I have read all the stickies regarding installation,but could someone please confirm my settings. My postcode is PR4 6TT and my location is 53.6780N - 2.8250W,can you tell me the settings for the dish please...

Hi All The motor supplied is; Technomate TM-2100 A Diseqc 1.2 Motor Thanks for the advice. Alan

Thanks Wolfav I have spent all morning studying all the "how to" files,they are very helpful,I need to get the proceedure in my head before I start. One thing not sinking in is how to translate my co-ordinates to the Dish setting.I am at 53.6780N 2.8250W,if anyone can help me with this,I would...

Hi All Thanks to everyone for the buying advice,I have purchased a system based on the advice offered, it's sitting in the hall,still boxed, as I need to summon up the courage to have a go at installing it. Question,if I point the dish at Astra 28.2,will I get all the FTA channels,same as if I...

Thanks for the reply Can you be a bit more specific about best quality possible,I thought a dish was a dish,could you recommend some.Also,should I still go motorised? Thanks Alan

Hi All Council just given permission for a Dish,problem is,it can be no bigger than 60cm. Is it worth motorising a 60cm dish,and what Satellites would I be able to receive? I am in the North West of England with a pretty clear view. Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks Alan

Hi All Can anyone recommend a good supplier of satellite equipment,I have found a supplier called Creative Satellite and would appreciate some feedback. Thanks Alan

Thanks rolfw I was thinking of getting one of Satellite Superstores Motorised Packages,everything included,Dish,Mount Motor,Receiver etc. Is this a good way to purchase my first system,or would I do better buying individual items say from ebay? I am trying to get it right first time. Thanks...
