The dish is an 80cm offset aluminium grey mesh dish. I can't remember the make as I bought it about 4 or 5 years ago. I'll have a look tonight to see if there is any markings on the dish to identify it. The LNB is an MTI blueline 0.6db universal LNB (just takes the coax and no other...

OK, thanks for that Rolf.

I'm about to change LNB. The current LNB has a ridge on the collar so it can not move forwards and backwards. The new LNB has no marking or ridge on the collar, so the question is does the distance from the dish to the tip of the LNB make a difference? The new LNB (MTI blueline) would be able to...

Can anyone tell me the required dish size for 30 deg west in the North West of England? I can get 1 deg west on my 80cm but can not get any further west. As the dish moves further west it does move under a protruding roof which could be prooving to be an obstruction. Thanks in advance for any...

There seem to be a few threads recomending the Nexus-s over the Skystar 1 card but don't give a reason. Both cards seem quite similar in spec with the exception of video out on the SkyStar 1. Can anyone give any specific reasons why the Nexus-s is a better card. Thanks in advance for your time...

Thanks psats, that's good news.

Hi Rolf Thanks for your reply. I was hoping someone on this board had managed to find a card that would work with the omnisat. I have been informed by a SkyStar 1 reseller that the SkyStar 1 is compatable with the Omnisat (I'm not so sure as he first thought the Omnisat was an LNB mover - not...

Has any one got a DVB card and use an Irte Omnisat motor? I've just had a reply from Hauppauge stating that the Nexus S is NOT capable of supplying the 400mA required by the Omnisat. Thanks in advance for any help. Barry

I have just justed off my old Irte Omnisat for testing before DVB-S card purchase. If anyone is using one of these can you tell me if the positioner needs to have an external power supply. There is a 24v input on the back of the positioner but I don't remember ever using this input. Thanks for...
