    Dish Comparison

    Pretty big I'd imagine, down here in the south (kent), you really need a 1.1m dish. I'd love to get this sat too, but my 90cm can only get about 5 channels on a nice day.

    5620 vs 500S

    Here you go people a link to the article which I refer regarding the new series of dreamboxes (Back from august last year): http://hiddenwires.co.uk/resourcesnews2005/news20050812-10.html So like I say, with new ones immanent is it worth waiting a bit?

    5620 vs 500S

    Interesting thread this one, because I was just venturing in to the dreambox section to ask the same question, I always remember way back in the day when I was reasonably active on this forum everyone was saying about the 5620, so as I have read above it appears that the only advantage to it is...

    Undoing the Next YE-2000 Technomate Patch Mess

    Damn I got nowhere with this, I am now a bit confused. Looking at satellite receiver images I managed to find out that the Nextpower 6000 CI is the equivalent receiver, i put the firmware on. Again remote works fine but dies on reboot. I guess that it has to be the bootloader, which I cant...

    Undoing the Next YE-2000 Technomate Patch Mess

    I'm not in a position to test my findings yet but just looking at the hex, it would appear that the 4 bytes starting at address 7ff00054 which read: 30 30 33 30 is the boot code (remember running make boot 30). In the official technomate it reads 30 30 31 30, which is 0010. Now looking in both...

    Undoing the Next YE-2000 Technomate Patch Mess

    Just a bit more info on what I changed, if you look at the original firmware in notepad the first few lines read: 7ff00000 54 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 49 4e 48 31 30 36 62 00 7ff00010 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 7ff00020 00 00 00 00 2d 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 34 00 00 7ff00030 00...

    Undoing the Next YE-2000 Technomate Patch Mess

    skystar2 to tv - possible?

    Back in the old days when I had an SS2 I used to use the TV output on my graphics card to get the picture on the TV. Most modern graphics cards have an output like that. Obviously if you have that facility then whenever you can get on your computer screen can be put on the TV

    What do u get ur old man for Xmas?

    Yes but if that is what he is interested in then it will probably be the most useful gifts to get him. No point in wasting it on some other junk just because you thought it was too easy. Just think how many times in your life you have been brought presents and through WTF am I going to do with...

    Its going to be a very long time before its all working.

    Unfortunately in my opinion whatever you do, satellite is like any other hobby. You end up buying a load of things, developing your knowledge understanding what things do, how to do bits and bobs. This is the point where you realise that your initial choices were wrong and you need to spend...

    43w reception in South East on 1.0m dish

    I didnt have the sat on there anymore, i got out of the phase of trying to have every channel listed, anyway, just for you I had a look and on: 12584V 27500 3/4 I am getting about 31% signal quality, so it's pretty weak but 100% viewable if I paid for any of the channels, these actually used to...

    is a hex-key to only thing you need ?

    In theory any cam should work with any receiver. There some receivers that will not work with certain cams, but normally they will. As far as I know there are some encryptions that are hacked, this means that you can use them with a valid key, smartcard, or official card. All depends on what...

    is a hex-key to only thing you need ?

    Salaam, Choosing a receiver is not really an easy option, I would just recommend that you choose one with cam (CI) slots so that you are able to use other modules with it. If your receiver only has irdeto on it then you will only be able to watch irdeto channels with it and a valid card...
