Moderators - Not sure which forum to put this in so feel free to move as necessary I've read in various posts that we are not sure what Premiership content will be available next season. Can I ask, what was available last year, I mean could you watch every satuarday game on one channel or...

Hi Gameboy, Thanks for the advice. After reading lots of other threads, I think I will give the 500 a miss as I would feel a lot better buying a reciever with a CI slot to give me a bit of future proofing. I'm probably gunna buy the Technomate 1500 CI+. When I have some more spare cash I may...

Hi the_wizz, Thanks for the advice! Paulh.

Hi gameboy, Thanks again for the info, So to anwser my question. No it does not have a CI slot. So if the community stops supporting the 500 as the 7000 models now seem to be the main choice. I would be screwed without a CI slot - I'm I right? Cheers Paulh.

Hi D4ftpunk, Can I just ask 2 questions I'm I right in saying the 500 has a CI slot? What is CIFS? Any help would be welcome! Cheers Paulh.

Hi Gameboy, Bored of mature content - eh - yea probably. The Footie - Never! Thanks again for all your advice! Paulh.

Hi Gameboy, Thanks for the quick response! Can I ask then - Will the 500 open up more or less every channel out there?, my Skystar 2 opens some but not others. I'm looking for mature content and prem footie. If you had a choice of buying the 500 tommorrow or the Technomate 1500 CI, which would...

Thanks for the advice Gents! The 1500 it is then. Paulh

Thanks for the quick reply Cableman, Can I ask you, is there any advantage to having the card reader on the 1500 if I have a CAM in the 1000(which is patched anyway)? Any help would be most welcome! Paulh.

Hi, I have read as much as I can about these two machines, however can anyone tell mw what the difference between the two is other than the £80 for the 1000 and £120ish the the 1500. I will be wanting to get a patched machine and looking to the future maybe a Dragon, or Matrix CAM. Any help...

Analoguesat, Great picture man, Looks like fun, thats the sort of thing I get up to at the weekend, having a good mess around with my toys, cool beer, sun shining, heaven, girl friend thinks I'm mad. Thanks for all your advice gents! Paulh.

Thanks for the advice Gents - I think I'll see if they have any left Paulh.

Can anyone comment on how a Humax single universal 0.3db LNB performs before I buy one? Any advice would be most welcome! Cheers Paulh.

Hi Happy-Buddah, No my maunaul def says 30 degrees and with a dish agnle of 24.4 degrees I can get Astra 19.2e, 28.5e and Hotbird 13e. The signal strengh from these sats however is very low, around 40ish, so may be my dish is in need of replacement. Do you know of any good online shops with...
