Is a***t a dirty word in these parts? I have no personal interest in any trader/brand. Just giving an innocent tipoff !

I've been looking for a relatively cheap largish dish on ebay for some time. In the end I've bought a new 1.1m ***** dish on ebay (inc. LNB) for £60. Its actually something like 1.16m vertical, so your approaching 1.2m land for little money. Delivery was included in that price which overcomes...

Colinp. There are useful tips on the USA forums at satelliteguys and gofastmotorsports/rickssatellitehome. Apparently the Qualitv memory is poor. The box will 'freeze' or play up if the memory gets too full with too many channels. It might help to clear channels. Do a google on 'Qualitv release...

The QualiTV has disecq 1.0 and 1.2

I have also been hunting for the Euro1080 channels on 7e. I was getting the 'clear' HD channel about three or four weeks ago. Now nothing. Even done a blind scan, without success. I'd be grateful if someone could give us a clue. I have a valid Euro1080 card that I registered a few weeks ago...

What would you say is the going rate for a Qualitv box? The QS 1080 IR. The cards for these boxes are now defunct since the provider has moved to MPEG4 for HD. But its still good for 4:2:2 and FTA. I'm not selling, just interested to get some views.

Turok and Analoguesat, thanks for the replies. I am aware of the Quali receiver and I know 4:2:2 is a format not an encryption. There is a technical review of it on Wikepedia. As a layman, this is my GUESS. Receivers receive all signals (including scrambled). The job of the cam/card is to give...

The Diablo can do luverly things but it doesn't enable 4:2:2 transmissions to be seen. Any info on why the Duolabs guys havn't tackled this issue?

The present dish is mounted on a "scaffold" pole that is firmy placed in the ground. The bottom of the dish is a couple of feet off the ground. The garden location is fairly sheltered.

I have a Metronic (ref450908) motor pushing an 80cm dish. It says its for dishes up to 1 metre. So,I've just bought a 1metre steel dish (Faval). I'm surprised how heavy it is ( though I can pick it up easily with one hand). I would welcome your thoughts. Anyone with experiences of pushing a...

Mickha, thanks for the info on my question (3). I know from his forum that you know a lot about sat stuff. Can you plese help on my questions (1) and (2)? ta ps Also, what does CAS stand for and what is its function?

I bought the FortecPassion HD a couple of weeks ago. My disecq worked the dish motor perfectly. I then upgraded the box to the new v150 firmware. The diseqc is now erratic. Sometimes it moves east or west. Sometimes it doesn't. The Nudge east/west is now hardly working. If I do a 'nudge' I have...

When starting the box from the main power button, I also get the splashscreen and then the box says 'power off'. Simply press the top red power on/off button on the remote. The box then powers up

Just received this cam and it works fine. I came preloaded with Underworld 113. I've hunted on a lot on forums for the following answers but found nothing:- 1)On the cam itself there's a plastic ON / LOCK thingy. Whats that for? What should it be set to? 2)Interogating the CAM from the Fortec...
