Hello! I've a smart card for viewing some Conax encrypted channels on Thor, if I buy an Dreambox 7020 would I be able to insert that card into the Dreambox and be able to view those encrypted channels? I've a Dreambox 500s now and a separate receiver for the Thor channels that can support the...

Hello, OK thanks. The cable isn't very long, about 10 meters in total I think. The LNB I'll use will be suited for bad reception since the Astra 2D reception is very weak in Sweden. However, the reception from Thor is very strong. Could that be a problem for the LNB? Also, the dish is a 110...

Hello, I'll give Astra 2D a try from Sweden soon, but I'm also thinking about getting a motor so I can also use the same dish for the scandinavian Thor sats at 0.8°W. Do you think a motor (correctly setup) would in any way worsen my chanses of getting Astra 2D? Regards Oskar

Started a new thread for the dish question instead, since I felt it fitted better in the dish forum than the Astra 2D forum.. But I still really need help with the best LNB for Astra 2D reception.

Hello, What figures should be high/low on a dish specification? Is a high "gain" value the most important thing? I've noticed that some dishes have better gain then some other slightly bigger dishes of less expensive brands... And what does "F/D" and is it important? What should the value be...

The one I've looked at is a Triax, TYPE: TD Unique Size: 100 x 111 cm Frequency range GHz 10.7 - 12.75 Gain @11.7GHz dBi 37.1 G/T LNB 0.7dB dB/K X-polarisation dB > 20 Offset angle degrees 26 Elevation range degrees 5 - 50 Reflector type F/D 0.6 Offset Beam width degrees 2.6 Windload @42m/s N...

Hello, I've a 110 cm dish in Sweden (southeast) and need to choose a good LNB for Astra 2D (planning to get at least the horizontal transponders). I've looked at - MTI High Line Universal Single 0,2dB LNB - Sharp F1 Low Noise - Invacom SNH-031 0.3dB - Smart Titanium twin LNB 0,1dB I've found...

It seams like I need an V-Box .... Specification: Model V-BOX II Input 230 VAC / 50Hz(110 VAC / 60Hz available) Output 36 VDC Max. Dish Diameter 3M / 5M Max. Output Current 3.5A / 4.2A Max. Power Consumption 80W / 100W Protocol DiSEqC 1.0 / 1.2 Positions Memories 99 Controled by DiSEqC 1.2...

Hello, I've found an older sat system with the following: Nokia ACU 8152 Antenna Positioner Rotor for the dish of some brand. 1.8 metre prime focus dish Nokia 8003S receiver. Now, the problem is that the Nokia 8003S is an analogue receiver and the Nokia ACU 8152 doesn't seam to work as a normal...

Hello, Is it possible with VLC and Dream View to stream the video to a remote TV (32") with mid quality on a 2.5mbps dedicated upstream connection for the Dreambox? Any experience with anything similar? Regards Oskar

Hello, About a year ago I tried to get a rotor to work. However, I forgoted to turn off the receiver so I probably short circuited it. After that it started to destroy all LNBs I connected to it with the motor connected. If I removed the motor, then the LNBs worked (if I hadn't tried them with...

Hello, OK, will do that. But what about loss with a DiSEqC switch? Would a DiSEqC switch decrease my chances of getting 2d? And what about the dish material? Is steel best? Regards Oskar

Hello, I think I've decided to buy all new equipment to be able to get the weak sat I want. I did read the test at http://www.minhembio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=168909 from a recent post here but I wanted to check with you on the LNB as well... From what I've understood the dB isn't the...

Hello, Is it possible to remote control and stream video/audio from the 200S through the internet to a remote computer? Regards Oskar

Hej! Well, I believe I have free way.. I have had the other Astra sats at 28.2°E without any problem. But do you think it'd be worth to try with the 100 cm dish? Regards Oskar
