Thanks for the help everyone - I bit the bullet and moved my dish up onto the chimney yesterday - 5 minutes and I had 3 satellites at 99%/99%/93% - I think I can call that a success!

Thanks, I'm trying to figure out whether I can reposition / setup a second dish to look between/over the trees. At least it might be a bit easier when the leaves fall off!

I just had the same ebay experience. the card does also have the sim card slot - mine came with a dragon loader card, sim card (no idea if it's programmable, or what) andpredator 3.21 installed. it certainly accepts my canal satellite card and decodes the channels, but I don't know what else yet.

Hi, thanks for the reply. The bracket is basically a plain lump of aluminium, machined to allow the LNBs to slide and twist in the horizontal plane. It attaches to the middle LNB and the others are mounted from there. (At least I assume so - no instructions!) The dish is just a plain old...

Hi all, I've just received my new topfield PVR and done my first ever installation - an 85cm visiosat dish set up on 19.2E with an adapter bracket for 2 more LNBs. the first is receiving astra 2 at 28.2E with no problems (85% quality)but I can't get a sniff of hotbird on 13.0E. I've tried...

Hi all, I've just ordered my first "proper" receiver and have been looking for info on how to set up a triple LNB (single plus monobloc) to enable me to receive 28.2E , 19.2E and 13E all at the same time. The receiver is a Topfield 5000PVR , so has two tuners and I would like to set it up so...

Can anyone tell me if there exists a list of CAM/decoder compatibility? I am looking at buying my first non sky/canal+ decoder/pvr and am thinking of the new neotion pvr601 or topfield tf4000 but can't find any info on whether or not various cams/cards will work with them. Any info welcome...
