    Help!! I can't find hotbird!

    Gameboy is right in that the movement required from Astra 1 to Hotbird is quite small. I am getting these 2 and Eutelsat all off a 85cm dish. You say you already have a dish on Sky at 28.2 and you have already located Astra 1 at 19.2E so you should be able to work out the direction you need to...

    problem with Dragon and ST550

    I am using Predator 3.21 in a Dragon cam. I programmed the Loader Card using a CAS Interface II with the add-on. It is opening up loads of Spanish Movie Channels (in English) on Hispasat as well many others on Hotbird and Astra (19.2E). Have a look at this Dutch site for updated information on...

    Technomate Tm-5500 Daci - Assistance Required

    I don't have a manual for this receiver. I have a large dish with 2 lnbs - one directed at Hotbird 13 E and the other at Astra 19 E. If I scan for channels and saved data for one satellite and then scan the 2nd satellite, it looses all the data for the first satellite. Do you know why this is...

    Advice sought

    I now have my CAS II and established it is the genuine article and not a clone. I have connected it to my PC with a USB cable, installed drivers and CAS Studio 6.1. Where do I go from here please? Are you all suggesting I should use an earlier version of CAS Studio? When it reads my Magic CAM...

    How to reset PIN number?

    Does anyone know how to reset the PIN number on a Sky Digibox without going through Sky? I have a viewing card that's asking me to enter the PIN to view Channel 5. I have tried entering the last four digits on the viewing card but that's not working.

    sky viewing card

    If it's a "yellow house" type Sky Viewing Card and it's been used before, the best you will be able to do is activate it for ITV1, ITV2, Channel 4 & 5 by leaving it in the Digibox for 24 hours.

    Manhattan Receiver Switches Off

    I have a Manhattan DSR-6500 VMP Satellite receiver that keeps rebooting. If I do a channel search it will search for a short while then reboot itself. Anyone got any ideas what the problem is please?
