Thanks Rolfw, I have still been about, but mainly reading. The learning remote would do the job but where to borrow one from? I only know one person who owns a motorised sat, and he doesn't use a vbox!! (echostar) pixey

I bought a vbox mkII approx 3 years ago to use with my Humax, it was when the remote control was optional. I have recently got hold of a skystar 2 PCI card and would like to use the vbox with this also. I have had trouble getting the plugins for diseqc working correctly and was wondering if...

Thanks I will give it a look. pixey

I have a Humax 5400 patched to Tux 3.1 with a CM 1.2m motorized dish. My problem is that I have a large tree blocking out Hispasat and have rigged up a fixed dish to point at 30W from a different position. I manually change the coaxes over between the fixed 30W dish and the Channel Master but...

Point taken CH!!

Star Trek (original) gets my vote. In the early ones the set wasn't great, but still a good show. pixey

Thanks CH. It doesn't look that hard to do but I am a bit nervous about doing it. I have downloaded all the files that I need. Is the official firmware HIC10500-06.hdf to match my system id of: 0016.0600 ? pixey

OK, now the big question. Can you point me to somewhere where I can find an easy step by step guide to do this as I don't want to mess this up. I have found a couple of places with a guide but if assumes some knowledge. Although I have used Setedit to shuffle channels etc, that is about my...

Also Benny, try cleaning the contacts on the card with meths or similar. I get card recognition problems with my programmer and this clears it. pixey

CH, "Only whwn you have allocated the positions to all 32 different positions (17 are in this firmware with user defined as the 18th and the 'joker' I suppose) can you then set up more satellite positions with unique names" So are the 25 (inc other 1,2 & 3) set in the firmware and not...

Thanks CH but that is not what I mean. If you press MENU, go down to INSTALLATION and then into SERVICE SEARCHING, highlight ANTENNA SETTING and press OK. Go down to Satellite name and press the Right arrow and choose a name off the list or go to USER DEFINED, as you have stated. You should...

Support your LOCAL team, that's what I say. pixey

It says in the manual " if the satellite name you require is not available, please use other" This is what I want to change. I don't want to use "other", I want to put a name in. pixey

Thanks Iceman, but how can I change the satellite names in the "satellite list box"? pixey

I agree lee32uk, should be an excellent game. pixey
