TM 5402HDM3 purchased from one of your sponsors, hope that gets you a bit of revenue or however it works!

Thank you, exactly what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure. TM it is then, thanks for all your help everyone. Looking forward to getting back into it, and those times of suddenly realising it`s 3am and I`ve been flicking through 50 channels from the Balkans that I can`t even understand!

Great advice, thank you all. I popped into the local shop this afternoon to enquire about the TM boxes and they were trying to sell me a Starsat Hyper 2000 instead? That`s a new one on me, seemed a bit iffy and even more so when looking searching for info online. Has anyone on here used...

Had a look at the TM boxes suggested and both seem to do exactly what I want, and well within budget. They both seem almost identical in pricing and capability though, so what gives one the edge over the other? Cheers Phil

Very, very sorry about that. C*** s****** is not something I`ve every done, or knew anything about, and, as I mentioned, I was only told about it in passing by a chap in my local shop, so I didn`t realise the implications of it. I`ll edit my post if I can to remove the text. Thank you for the...

Oh sorry, I`ve got a 90cm motorised dish that is still installed and still works perfectly, and is all ready to be plugged into my new kit!

Hi I`ve decided to upgrade my now little used Technomate 1500 CI+, and as I`ve been out of the satellite loop for a couple of years I would appreciate some help on what to purchase! I used to download firmware regularly that used to allow me to get the German Premier Sports, Movies channels...

Im going to get the installer to come back out as it was only put up a couple of months ago on a decent sized pole and my ladders arent safe enough where he has located it. My Sky dish is on a pole half the thickness and is still fine and the winds werent hugely strong so he cant have secured...

sorry, forgot to say it was setup for disecq so would be reuctant to switch to usals in case I completely mess it up.

How do I re-align the vertical/horizontal axis as I use 'move fine' for the east west?

Morning All Had some relatively high winds the other night and since then my Technomate 1500+ has been behaving very strangely. In completely still and clear conditions the signal is jumping from 95% right down to 15% (no reception) within tenths of seconds! It may stay at 95% for five...

Seems to save if I use the save option under the motorised settings menu, rather than trying to save when coming out of the menu. I tried the motor control last time and lost everything (luckily managed to find channels again) so I avoid that particular option like the plague now! Thanks for...

Hi Quite often I have to slightly re-align my dish due to wind etc. For instance, lets say I go to Eutelsat 10degrees East, and most channels have an unwatchable signal or very blocky at best. I go to Motorised setting and use 'move fine' to realign, which usually gets the signal back up...

Just received my serial adaptor this morning and have now completed my first successful patch! A historic moment in my so far brief satellite career! Thanks for the advice everyone, much appreciated.

There is the Timber Championships on Eurosport every Friday, with events such as log cutting using jet powered chainsaws, which is moderately entertaining if you need your niche sport fix!
