    now you see it, now you don't!

    Thanks for your replies guys. I turn the sat to standby which I think is the best thing. I guess I will just have to put up with it. The problem is that the cam fits so tightly I have to use a pair of pliers to pull it out! Thankfully it dosen't seem to cause any problems when loading the new...

    now you see it, now you don't!

    Hi everyone, I have an Echostar DSB 890 with am MR'd cam (1220). Everything, except cabo at the moment, works fine but if I leave the sat for a couple of days I find that the cam is not recognised and I have to physically take it out and put it back in the slot. Hey presto! all is right with...

    Terrorism in London

    Firstly may I say that my and my wifes thoughts are with those families and friends of the victims of this atrocity. I also think that the way that the rescue operation was carried out speaks volumes about the British people. The individuals who perpertrated this barbaric act of reckless hate...

    Worse than a dummy

    To say I am frustrated would be an understatement. I have spent hours reading the forum and trawling through the net for files to update my MR'd (currently version 1.100). I have managed to find files which I think are the correct ones and here the problem starts. I have an Echostar DBS890 FTA...

    The new Dr Who series.

    Didn't get to see the first episode but I did catch last night's. I think that there really is a long way to go yet with this. Christopher Ecclestone is a fine actor but I had the impression that he may be a secret pig farmer as there was so much ham flying around! Yes, the show has been dragged...

    Mii Rip?

    Hi everyone, As it appears that getting new k*ys for C***x is not going to be any time soon, I was wondering what the next best (new) thing is. I have an Echostar DBS890 with a MR'd cam, which I've had for about 6 months now and probably needs updating; so I'll need to get some F*n6 cards for...

    Receivers which work with the MR and those which don't

    Works, or rather worked, fine with an Echostar DBS890 which I bought last September. I say worked because I have an MII and could get C*n*x but not anymore. I also have an Infinity USB proggy and I am now wondering what other Cam or card to get. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.:cool:

    Dragon + Echostar 890

    I recently bought an Echostar 890 and when I asked about cams the guy in the shop said that I'd be better off with a M R'd as Drgn did not work well with the 890. Now I have a MR'd with an M2 but can't seem to use it for anything other than C*n*x and that isn't on anymore!

    Planning Permission + two Dishes Permission

    Last October I bought a motorised system (Echostar 890, MR'd & MII) with a motorised 80CM mesh dish. I specifically asked the Installer if PP was needed ( I live in Leicester by the way) but he said not for dishes under 90 cm. I was also lucky in that I have mine attached to the back of the...

    A bit of fun: Which Hellenistic School of Philosophy Would You Belong To?

    Me? I'm a cynic so I don't know why I voted as these polls are all the bloody same! LOL

    Online scams emerge in tsunami's wake

    Apart from the Pern books I remember years ago reading the Lensman and Dequense series of books by E E 'Doc' Smith. Mostly read thrillers and (Clive Cussler now though.
