Ok thanks. 10 quid in maplins for a sqauker

Hi Guys, Not been on here in a while but good to see the forum is still going strong. My question is can I use a multimeter to align a dish. Im doing it for a friend who has moved house and needs some help. I dont have my satmeter so was thinking to use a multimeter instead. Im guessing that...

I get 100% signal levels on 28E with smaller dish. Probably with some fine tuning you could do the same.

Just as well I didnt so! :-banned Channel List found here :) _http://rapidshare.com/files/286425273/TM_Rx.zip.html

its actually from another forum (Darkman *****). Am I allowed to post links to it as there is some useful stuff there for Technomate Receivers!?

Hi JM99 I have a channel list which includes lots of Russian and German Channels for a Technomate receiver. Send me a PM and I will send you my list if this helps.

I found my TM5200 receiver came with lots of dead transponders which caused me same problem as you have. When you are in the satellite setup menu check what transponder the receiver is currently using. Go to lyngsat.com and check that the transponder is active or post here and someone will tell you.

I guess there wont be any patches available for this type receiver

Thanks guys...I'll recommend this for a starter.

There is no attraction to 19E...I just thought it would be easiest to pick up using a sky dish! Im probably wrong again :confused: I know nothing about Sky so just wanted to find out what options there are with the sky dish?

Ahh...so you can do something :confused: Tell me more, tell me more :)

Am i confusing this with Astra 1 and Hotbird?

Ok thanks, I thought I came across something on this forum before about adding an extra Lnb to a Sky dish to pick up 19E or maybe Im wrong?

Hi All, A friend of mine was asking me can he add a freeview box onto his Sky dish and what extra channels he can get? Could somebody tell me what you can do with a Sky setup for more channels. He want to keep his Sky sports but would like extra channels. Can you add an extra freeveiw LNB...

One thing that happened to me when aligning dish was that I had a dead transponder and just couldnt figure out how I was getting same signal all the time no matter what way i moved dish. Make sure you have an active transponder on your reciever when lining up! Check out lyngsat.com to make sure...
