Hi, Can Dreambox 70xx do hard rive recording on external sources like freeview? For e.g. if i take my dreambox to a place without a satellite, could I still record stuff onto the hard drive? Thanks

Will this lnb be suitable for a multisat setup? ebay item: 330035245929 And what about the ones that say they are thomson lnbs that are advertised for sky digital?

Thanks for your help rolf! I've Pm'ed channel hopper.

Wow, thanks Rolf for that quick reply! There won't be a sky reciever there anymore but hopefully a dreambox so would i need a 4 way DiseqC switch? Don't really know what a DiseqC switch is but i can read up on that. Regarding the weight of the dish, will the original bracket holding the...

Hi guys, I'm going to get into this scene but have a few questions to ask about the installation and hope you guys can provide me with some answers! :) Basically, what i'm going to start off with is a sky dish already installed. I want to then remove the sky mini dish and put up a multi-sat...

Got mine quite quickly - 3/4 days, but had to send back cos it was faulty. Costs a bomb to send back to Germany! They said they would refund my postage costs if the box was faulty, which is was. Got it back and i asked them about the postage costs and they sid that if you buy something else then...

Cheers man, took my time but almost there, I hope! Yeah, installer was bit of cowboy, decent sort of chap but ... oh well, at least he came back twice after the initial installation. I can't get a lock on sirius at all. :( Any ideas of which is the strongest transponder? Yeah, I'm not pulling...

Hi guys, This is what happened.. the guy came at 8.30pm on Friday when it was almost dark AND he didn't have a test reciever, so he came and tried to play about with the DB. I had already been playing about with it for the last week so sort of knew it, but it was obvious he didn't have a clue...

Thanks for trying to help me out guys. It's beginning to seem more and more like either the DB is bust (even though it's new) or the installation is dodgy. I have done the things that both of you have suggested many times. The stepping to the east and west doesn't seem to work, the numbers...

Nah, it still doesn't work. Programmed in the lat/long - had it tuned to astra and was picking up picture. Then went to satfind, which at the time is locked to astra, changed the satellite to hotbird and can't get a lock.. :(

OK, i'll try that when i get back in tonight. If you can only get one satellite at once then that means the the motor is at least moving.. sometimes. The installer installed it but he had never seen a dreambox before so didn't have a clue. He stayed til 10pm then gave up, i was trying to get...

It's a new setup and it was done by an installer so i can't really answer your last paragraph. As for the long and lat figures, I didn't enter any as I had unticked the goto xx function. Do I need this? (How do I enter negative longitude with the remote? mine is -2.212 50,5075 and i can't enter...

That's my problem - when I go onto satfind and try to find hotbird, it simply says 'Please wait while he motor is turning to 13.0E and stays there OR the 3 numbers (SNR, AGC and BER keep changing for a long time (and i mean a long time, something like 1/2 hour.. surely it doesn't take this long...

I have a motorised setup so i guess that's slightly different to set up? I don't change anything in the satellites configuration apart from choosing 'many satellites using diseqc'.

Thanks guys. I don't know if everything is set up correctly as the installer installed it on Friday. But I do manage to get 19.2 and previously I had 13.0 as well but now i can't get it back. What do you mean by a full scan? I have already located the Astra 19.2 with a SNR of 86 and AGC of 69...
