Hi I am trying to advice a relative of mine on a good stb for him to get the freesat stuff and more. He has sky at the moment, but don't want it anymore. I have suggested to get a HD box, as he alreadsy has a HD TV. For a budget of £100-£200, can you please make some suggestions so I can...

Am I being blonde or is it really really bad the way they organise the channel surfing? What I mean is: Supose you have fully scanned the system and now want to go through them to select the favourites and add them to your channel list. Problem is that you can't scroll down page by page, you...

I am after a cheap used motorised dish setup if anyone is thinking about upgrading theirs. After a 60cm or 80cm dish not bigger with a Diseqc1.2 motor. Can collect if not too far from Somerset.

Bloody hell! So had a few hours of no rain, so deided to start from scratch. Took the bracket off and remounted so it is 100% vertical. done Remounted the gear using the manufacturer's guidlines and measures. Then as suggested, moved the motor manually by pressing the buttons to roughly 1.5'E...

I have stored about 30 satellites positions roughl in the motor. They all need to be fine tuned and corrected to the right satellite. Am I going over board? Am I likely to be receivng all 30 satellites? Are they worth it? If not, what are the satellites I should be aiming to get? By the way...

So am I correct so far then: Mouht the motor and the dish according to the manual regarding the angles. Find magnetic south with a compass and point the whole assembly to it. Then drive the motor 1.4( or 1.55)E. Then move the whole assmebly to find Thor1W. fine tune it by moving the dish...

To get thor, which is 1W, why do I need to move 1.4' E? if I set the dish to magnetic south(my magnetic South is 183'), then do I not just manually move the motor 1' W ( by this I mean press the manual button to move the motor, or do I need to mve the motor/dish assembly with the bracket)and...

And another thing, I have done my best I can to align the pole to 100%. But I just can't get it 100%. It is literally about 2 degrees out. Would this make a lot of difference?

BUt problem is that my receiver doesn't suport USAL. Is is Diseqc1.2 I am using.

Hi Here is the setup: 80cm solid dish with universal 0.2db LNB Superjack DG120 H-H motor Pace STB Location: Frome, Somerset, Latuitude:51.2, Longitude: -2.2 Ok, I have been trying to set this up, but now I am getting myself more and more confused! I have followed the tutorials ther are given...

Hi I have a dragon twin cam and the loader card, it is version 3.86 which I have just updated the camwith. Can anyone explain to me how the dragon cam works? What does it do? How do you know if it has worked or not? Some channls sy encryption type is viaccess and ... What does this mean...

Hi Thanks for the pointer. Moved the dish to the right from behind, and the sat meter suddenly picked up another sat. Aligned to the strongest signal and tested. I now have 13E! Yeppeee!

Alright! I though it sounded like 19E. I have cross checked another channel and it seems it IS 19E I am aligned to! Problem is that they are so close, I don't know how to make sure I get the right satellite! I am picking up a motorised 80CM dish this week. So hopefully that would maybe make it...

Hi please help me as I am a bt confused! I have just put up a static Ex-sky digital dish to connect to Hotbird 13E. I followed the guidance from this site, which is very helpfull and used a sat meter to fine tune the satellite to what I thought to be 13E. According to dishpointer, from my...

So is it better to load the latest file to the loader and then load the CAM with that version? As for the serila number, I have entered the serial number for the sky box in the NDS settings. It is also a current card and I have always used it in the SKy+ box, so it is still active. What is an...
