Do you reckon the 6900 is much better than the Passion HD? Is the only gain the PVR function. It is just that I notice there is a soon to be released Passion plus with PVR to HDD and the price will be aroung £150. I am wondering if the TM6900 is worth the extra? Opininions welcome - Thanks Mike:)

Thanks Robbo - I will have a look for non penetrating roof mounts. Ive seen a few other threads around re motors geting confused when switching receivers so I think I will connect the second one passively to the LNB

Thanks Jimbo. Receivers will be in different parts of the house. So up at the dish could I run the receiver input to the motor into a splitter and connect both feeds from the receivers to it?

apologies for re-post (I put it in original thread) Many thanks guys - all up and working now. Bit of trouble finding that Thor but got there in the end. I fitted a new 68cm penta in the end. It is fitted on a flat roof (ashfelt / gravel etc.) I leveled then screwed a 2 foot square piece of...

Yes it was on a motor (SG2100) . I need to keep the size down - hence the 68cm. (claimed to be as good as a 80cm) I am just a newbie but was very impressed by the solid build and quality bracket and general construction. Like I say, I only have my previous (maplin) fortec star to compare it...

Yeah - just fitted one today in Brighton (south coast England) and it works really well - better signal levels than same size fortec star. and the construction of the dish and fittings are good and solid.

Thanks bigtee. The receiver didnt have an option for thor1 so I selected Thor 2,3 (0.8W) and the transponder settings were 3977 H 17777 Or should I have manually edited the transponder settings to the ones in your previous mail? When I search on Thor 1 it tells me it has been sent to a...

Thanks guys - but that didn't go so well :-DOH2 I certainly had the motor elevation OK and when pointing south (1 W) and adjusting the dish elevation using a bleeper the bleeper frequency would rise a little but I just could not get the receiver to show any signal at all when fine adjusting...

Hi all. Great forum. I have read the stickies and my motor instructions (SG2100) and I think I know what I need to do - but I would appreciate someone giving my plan the once over. :) I am in Brighton on south coast (latitude 50.8N Long 0.075W) I use the table in the motor instructions to...
