Hi, I've managed to pick up Hellas Sat 2 at 39 degrees east. With the help of a satellite meter borrowed from the man in my local hardware store. I'm getting a signal strength of about 80, but I don't seem to be able to pick up any stations on my receiver. Which is a Technomate 5500 DACI...

Hi, yes it's the Hellasat at 39 degrees east, and I'd like to pick up any greek free greek channels. Regards Dave

Hi, a super write-up, but unfortunately, my neighbours house obsures me from seeing Thor. I needed to put the dish at the bottom of my garden to give me a chance at seeing Hellassat. I used a dish-pointer program from the internet, which uses an image from Google earth. And I should be able to...

hi, it's 13 degrees east. I've got a technomate 5500 DACI receiver. Many thanks Dave

HI, I can manage to get a signal from Riksat. In fact the other day I did watch the channel. But, now I'm getting the message not running or scrambled? I must admit I'm new to all things satellite related. And I've been fiddling with the receiver as I'm also trying to set-up a motorised dish in...

Hi, thanks for that. I'll give it a try tomorrow when I get home from work. Has anyone else had problems trying to locate this satellite? I managed to get Hotbird and astra, but the receiver/dish couldn't seem to locate Hellas sat. Many thanks people. It's good to know I'm not alone. Regards...

Hi, I'm based in outh east Essex. Can anyone tell me the rough inclination angle for hellas sat, as I just cannot seem to locate it? Many Thanks Dave

Hi, Dave here in south Essex. Just trying to set up my system; managed to get hot bird and astra. But, the satellite I need is Hellas sat (39 degrees east) but it's not listed on my receivers pre-programmed list. Any ideas folks? I have a i meter motorised dish witha manhatten mount and a...

I'll certainly give it another try. Regards Dave

Hi, thanks for that. I managed to power up the receiver and run some coaxial to the motor. And I can look at the display on the tv and the motor does operate ok. Even though the dish isn't up on the wall yet. The only thing is, whilst looking on the internet. It said that I need to get the dish...

hi, I'm working a little blind here. But I've just connected a coaxial cable to the mount (in the lounge!), but, I'm not sure which connector it attatches to at the back of the receiver...would it be input A, or RF in? Sorry it's a bit vague, but I'm itching to get the thing fired up. Dave

Hi, thanks for that. Some of the font is readable, but the rest is gobledegook, But I there's enough there to keep me going. Do you happen to know if this receiver will pick up Greek tv from the Hotbird satellite? I know the the subscribed channels have a thing called Irdeto encrytion. But I'm...

Hi, further to my recent post's "Here in Essex". Out of the blue, a work collegue of mine brought around a satellite dish and receiver. It's a Technomate TM-5500 DACI, and the dish is 1.0 metre, which has a Manhatten H-H mount. Unfortunately, the last owner has just cut the leads off which go...

Hi, also, can the Nova access cards be purchased here in the uk? I think I may have read somewhere that they had to be purchased in their mother country. Many Thanks Dave

Hi, thanks for that folks. Can these receivers be picked up on places like ebay. Also, would I be correct in saying, that all these items need to be digital, and not anologue? Hopefully, I shan't be breaking any forum rules here. But, can anyone recommend any reputable satelite retailers here...
