Yep nice one, Analogue, source button sorted it, can now pull the scart without losing signal, and up it too 108i. looks like my eye sight has improved a little, but if pushed its not as if iv'e had catarach treatment or anything, HD is over hyped. Many thanks

trouble is, if i pull out the scart lead i loose the signal, so that would indicate the signal is threw the scart and not the HDMI lead. Not too sure how to remedy that? Couple of more questions if you guys are a little bored this fine Sunday morning. I have a motorised dish, 'how do i scan for...

In the manual for the Humax HD satellite receiver it says 'You can set the resolution of the screen. Press the V-FORMAT button while watching a programme. The current resolution will be displayed. Each time you press the V-FORMAT button, the resolution changes in the following sequence...

Oh i remember in the rosy light of Dawn when everything was so simple.. WOS....Dohhh!

Thanks chaps for the quick replies, these CAMs arnt exactly cheap if your on a budget, UK plc rip off, inflation is 5% yeah right, sorry going off on one again. Not too sure who WOS is? anyways got the idea now, purchase a CAM, then buy the card, put the card in the CAM then put the CAM in the...

Suspect this post will get a few views, got a advertising Email from World of Satellite offering viewing cards for mature content channels. I have a TM 5400+ci usb (with embedded Conax what ever that is) the problem is i am not too sure what i need to make it work if a purchase one (viaccess) or if its...

Thanks Chaps, the solution to this one seems a little strange. My position or location is as stated above but apparently the problem seems to have been solved by entering a slightly different start position, I now have it at 0.1w 51.5n and it seems to pickup most of the Sats, with excellent...

Thanks vk, did go threw that scenario between bouncing off the walls, the thing is i can only scan one TP at a time, i have to keep going threw the proceedure, and i think there are some 80 TP's on that particular satellite, not all active of course but more than i can cope with. What i am...

yep using usals, Ok, in Motorised setting i have my position set correctly for my location 02.7w 53.8n, and the goto in that menu means go to the selected satellite. That bit is fine, i press goto and it goes to Thor, i get good TP's and can scan for channels. So i presume that menu is correct...

Wish i lived in cyprus...your dish does look tooo high. if anything you should be adjusting it so it looks a little too low as most dishes are 'offset' meaning they point downwards to compensate for the offset, 30 or so degrees i think it is.

Hi all, i can't seem to get a lock on astra 23.5 e, i can get good transponder signal 97% when i manually move the dish in 'position' setting, but when i press save, then scan, it says 'moving to astra 23.5e' then the dish moves away from the good transponder signal and back into the red...

Yeh good point CH it don't seem to 'move much' when i send it to Thor 1w from way east. But i'm not too sure how to move the dish via the reciever, obviously i can move it to the pre=programmed sats already on the reciever (if it is moving) by asking it to scan them, but if i want to go to 5w...

Nano says 26e, i have looked threw the menu items on my box and am struggling to navigate to that position, i.e..i have all the sats but none for 26e, is there a menu where i can put in them co-ordenents and the motor will go there??:confused:

Many thanks Nano, My own smugness at setting it up correctly was a little overwhelming, guess i expected too much. :-DOH!

Hello everyone, find myself a little dissapointed after botching together a sat system consisting of a 80cm dish, TM5400 CI+usb, TM DiseqC 1.2 motor. All perched on my flat shed roof. Managed to set it up right, can get good signals from the best satellites 60% average, 98% on some TP's, but...
