Hotbird,Astra 19.2, Astra 2d & Hispasat 30DegW. Get the 1st one as near to south as poss 1st by fixing the dish to...

    New to the Sat game, Help/Advice needed with Hispasat and its channels

    The keys didn't chnge for TV Cabo. They changed the PID's of some channels. You will probably be able to view fox & foxlife for example. I have an Illusion M3 & had to wait for an update (vectra 356A) for it to work. I tried searching on "add" for channels, but it made no difference:-DOH! Sooo...

    What is the best LNB for fringe reception?

    As the title says, What is the best LNB for fringe reception? Seems to be that the Invacom is favourite here no the Costa Blanca with the 2.4M prime focus dishes. But the Sharp gets a good mention as well. What's your experience? Hoppo

    is it worth buying a "non" lcd or plasma tv now?

    I wouldn't bother with widescreen either. You still get the letter box on them so the viewable screen is smaller. Use the zoom facility & the picture is the same (more or less) as the 4:3 tV's. Buy a good 4:3 tv for half the price & go plasma when the price comes down.

    Illusion box channell editor

    I have never got it to work. Go down the all channel list and mark the ones you want to move to list 1 for example (with the blue button) & then press yellow & copy to list. Repeat with each list. Hoppo PS new Vectra 56 on http://www.hutsefrutse.com/upload/index.php?order=mod&direction=0&...

    Newb motorised setup woes!

    My motor is set at 39 deg, i am in Valencia of course. Dish set at 20deg (85cm). If you set them both lower (i think) by 3-5deg and try for hotbird again (south and left a bit) see what you get. Can't find anything online for you. Hoppo

    Trouble finding Astra? locking on to 07e5?? please help

    Buy yourslf an illusion M3 for about 120€, a 60cm dish and point it at 30W (hispasat). You'll probably see the small dishes pointing at the sat with the ViaSat logo on them in Murcia. It looks nearly 180 degrees the other way to your Sky dish. PM me if you have any trouble Hoppo

    Newb motorised setup woes!

    Hacksaw, Your motor "looks" the same as mine. Mine is branded illusion but unfortunately, 1, i am in valencia & 2, i threw the instructions away. Put the motor on pole, facing due south at the angle it says (elevation). This has to be pretty acurate. Tighten it up. Attach the dish and find...

    How to instal 2 dishes for one receiver

    Twag, why not have just the motorised dish? Is it only for the speed of changing channels or is the motorised dish larger/better then the others? Hoppo
