Dear stejc, Many thanks for your offer, however after an intensive session changing the alignment of my Fibo dish slightly, my Technomate TM5500DAPCI is firing on all cylinders again. :) Thanks again for your interest. Regards, Bloater

Hi everyone, My existing receiver has finally died on me and I'm looking for a fully functional replacement. Please advise price ,including shipping, or I could collect if within a reasonable distance. Many thanks to all concerned, Bloater

Hi there, Yes, the dish / receiver were working perfectly before I packed the receiver away during a long period of decorating when I retired. Now that the receiver is reinstalled I cannot receive any channels on the various satellites within +/- 40deg of due South. The Fibo dish is set up...

Hi Rolfw, Thanks for the reply. The dish is pointing at 0.8 deg ( due South ), as I have just reset the limits. There is no response from Hotbird on 13 deg E, which is normally a huge signal with a good quality figure. I have checked the output on A, with a digital volt meter, and this reads...
