    which DVB-S2 card?

    thanks for that. are there many chipsets about these days and are some better than others. ive just noticed my sticky thread at the top of the forum for BBCHD on Skystar2. i dont recall writing that at all! maybe i should read it, i may learn something.!

    which DVB-S2 card?

    the WinTV Nova HD does seem the 'safe' option. but i dont see how they are double the price of the card ive mentioned above. is there a difference? i recall something about BDM drivers and BT chipset issues the original nova card (unless ive just made that up)

    which DVB-S2 card?

    hi topper ive a few boxes over the years, the best in terms of channels being my current protek. but the interface is poor. i want to get some HD stuff going and rather than spend a couple of hundred quid on a HD STB, i thought i would look at the PCI option. if i could afford it (in terms of...

    which DVB-S2 card?

    Diseqc Motor Issues

    not sure what brand, cant see any markings on it. no signal on anything, anywhere. if the weathers right sometime this week i'll bypass it and prove to myself that all is fine except the motor. replacement will have to wait though, as the damn dishwasher has just packed in. :(

    Diseqc Motor Issues

    sorry about the pic. thanks for the reply, usals doesnt appear to do anything so i'll take that as my motor does not support usals. shall i just bite the bullet and buy a decent motor?

    Diseqc Motor Issues

    Does anybody have as many issues as me with a motor. it never seems to work consistanlty well. my motor is about 3 or 4 years old now and i dont think its ever worked properly. ive had it attached to 3 different recievers, current receiver is a TM1500 but it still has issues. list of issues...

    Nanoxx Na9600ip

    i dont know much about the nano, but he inno updates keys when new software is available to download i think. but keys change so quick these days then you end up doing it manually anyway. better off with a dreambox for that i reckon.

    Nanoxx Na9600ip

    i never bought the nano, but the inno is still working a treat. the OSD is very poor, but as far as opening channels go, its VERY good. to be honest, id only have it as an 2nd box because its usability is so poor.

    motor/dish angle.

    thanks rolfw, that clears it up i think.

    motor/dish angle.

    yup, thats more or less what i was trying but it doesnt work. currently on 55 motor and 33 dish, not tried the full arc but 28e to 13e works fine.

    motor/dish angle.

    so my motor must be 53.65 not the 36.35. that makes sense, cheers

    motor/dish angle.

    i eventually sorted it, all the calcs i found said my motor angle should be 33deg but i did as topper said, looked carefully for the weather marks and ser motor to 55deg and it worked! whys its 55deg, ive no idea... ooh ive just had a deja vu, strange. cheers topper!
