Yeah i've heard about the bugs too, however for the money i have paid i will give this old girl a try first ;) :)

Hmmm....Big changes then O-no I may just use FTA channels till i know a little more. Thanks for the info Rolfw :)

Great, i may wait on that then :) This is news to me, i've only just come back onto the sat scene (i used scan the skies about 8-9 years ago) So just to update...what is being affected by the coming changes? I know about Nagra 2. TIA :)

Is this still the general view? I have heard lots of good along with some bad about the dragon, so am still a little wary of buying this unit. I am hoping there will be a price drop soon as this may help my decision :P, i can get the MR for around £60 delivered but the dragon is £100+ P&P what...

Hi Jimbo, the main reason i am getting this programmer is that my friend is selling his unused unit cheap ;) After doing a little research it seems that it will program tit cards in mode 1, so i'm very much looking forward to getting some cards now :D

I was wondering if the Vx Multi2 pro will programme a funcard 5,6 and/or tit? TIA :)

How much do you need? I have a 250mtr drum of Raydex CT-100 (white) with loads left over from my instillation. Make me an offer via Pm :)

Thanks for the advice :) I did a software update yesterday which didn't help, i also reset the receiver, again to no avail but i reset again this afternoon and added the channels manually and whoopy-do-da they have arrived! Only thing is, Triple X isn't showing on the list :rolleyes: so i will...

Thanks for your reply :) I guess i must have been so excited with my new toy that i missed the "how to" section lol :rolleyes: Anyway after a quick read, my old days of playing with sat stuff all came flooding back, so i decided to pop the dish and mount up but then time caught up so i just...

Looking for some help, i have purchased a used system comprising of a Echostar 3000ip receiver,triax 95cm dish and a supermount 90u H-H mount. My question is: How do i setup the dish? The system was left pointing at the hotbird sats but my wall is west facing and the original position was south...

Many Thanks for your help, i may require a bit more info once the system is set up, but for now :-cheers

I have been offered a brand new VxMulti2 pro and a Vx4usb USB programmer for a very good price and wondered which would be the best investment? I am looking to use funcard 4/5 and maybe 6 (if supported) but have no idea which programmers are best.

This is what i used to find with Tv-Norge and Kanel 5, they ran local subs with the original English sound track intact, which was perfect. If there are channels like this still around then i will be over the moon, as i have been told that there is very little which is worthwhile and FTA. Hence...

Update:I have just picked the system up for £125 :D and have found out that the dish is actually 95cm, however, i still have my 1.1mtr triax in the garage which i may well pop up insted as the chap couldn't pick up sirius 2, which did concern me. I am about to order some 4 core cable for the H-H...

Many thanks for the quick reply :) I used to use a Pace MSS508ip which bought in some good free channels, i can remember watching lots of british shows on TV-Norge and Kanel5 (i think that is how it was spelt lol) is there much free english stuff about now? as i have heard a lot of it is...
