Sorry, this seems to be the most obvious place to post this to me, but if i'm wrong please feel free to move. About 9 months ago I was eager to get back into the game, after I moved house. I was hoping for somewhere with a flat roof or a garden or something, but I found a great little flat that...

much better ;)

is there any chance you could post in a style that makes my eyes bleed considerably less? ie like everyone else does. thanks.

oh of course :D i might try and compile a list of well written reviews from members of various forums. i don't mind buying the occasional mag every now and then, but when you're paying £4 odd and half the mag is taken up with the info i could find on lyngsat or kingofsat etc its a bit of a pain...

oh to be able to view powervu :( the amount of channels that i wanna check out that are encrypted with PV is just annoying!

all the promo packing and adverts i saw when we first got sky (back around 90 i think, maybe a bit before) had the disney channel logo on them. only took another 10 odd years for it to arrive :P ah bliss, i need to dig out some old tapes and find some sky movies promos.. the Yazz one was always...

well thats the thing.. nobody seems to have the same price for the twinhan card! i've seen it as much as £180 .. which is MUCH more expensive than the SS2. to be honest, it looks a far better card.. but someone with knowledge of both needs to compare them for us. i hate pinnacles software so i...

Thought it'd be nice to compile a general list of general what manufacturers for various components are good, and which to avoid. Compared to the amount of reviews and general knowledge about more standard AV equipment, there's not always an awful lot of info about various satellite equipment...

sure its not a Force Frontier ? 5x LNB 60 and 90cm dish. satelliteshop.co.uk sell em.

heh, that'd make a pretty good sig :D

or just set up your own mail server at home, with a hdd as big as you like. personally, i don't get the fuss about such a big inbox that has been made recently.... the whole gmail concept is massively overhyped. i rarely use mine, but the one i set up for a friend who runs a business (who i'll...

admit it, its the girlfriend thats stopping you getting a 2.4metre dish isn't it :D

thanks for the follow up, very good point about the cams. i'll have to see if anyone anywhere has tried both, and see what the verdict is. i can see where your pricing came from tho, i've seen the twinhan advertised up to £180 in the uk since! i can see no model difference (its a 1030c from...

woop another cardiffian, sounds like you have a nice setup too mate. how much did you pay for your triax dish, and did you get it locally? the only local place i know is city satellite, and their website gives no real information apart from the fact they "do" sky. a friend of my dads worked for...

thanks for the posts. yes, CI stands for Common Interface, and is for inserting CAMS into, which means... more channels if you want to pay for the CAMs (and then the cards, or use a programmer). sure you can emulate, but i'm sure the hardware solution will cover more than software can atm...
