Nice! OK this is starting to look plausible yeah. I think that level of programming is fine, I will check with the group experts! Thanks very much VMA :-worship We will be getting onto it this week / early next week, so I will try and keep this thread updated about how it goes! Muchos Gracias :)

Wow this is definitely something of a black art! If the box loops through the RX from LNB, will the modem have any issues? This means I can leave the dreambox on/connected permanently. Back on topic: I'm looking at something like a Dream or VU+ box, then I can access its linux image via telnet...

Hi VMA, Many thanks for your knowledge, it's being very much appreciated! I don't want to jump into this without doing work myself also, good knowledge is key! The dish is actually controllable on Azimuth and Elevation axes, mechanically accurate to <0.05deg each. Currently, we look at the...

Or am I completely missing how these work? Am I right in thinking that there's an ID signal in the sat beam which I assume the NIT picks up; the cheaper ones look at the signal parameters I have loaded into the device (freq, etc) and 'match' these to a prestored satellite ID. If the latter...

Hmm this is trickier than I thought. We can program but not immense at it; we're actually trying to load the whole thing onto an Arduino so ideally it needs to be as simple as possible, just sending some serial commands and getting a nice value back - like AT commands! The DVB-S2 option is not...

Hi Guys, I'm new to the forums, but been playing with satellite systems for a while - used to have a D2MAC, and 36VDC motorised dish. We're working on a project to build an automatic dish positioning system, for rapid deployment of our Tooway satellite internet system. Everything's going...
