Hi smoggy. Well, getting the 10 digit serial no is not difficult form the setup of the Pace, I have the number with me the only thing is that begins with 0 and the Vantage takes that 0 out and leaves teh rest 9 digit. My Pace shows 0184xxxxxx and I put that in the field IRD Serial of the Vantage...

Hi. Thanks for your attention. I am receiving the same channels as before, the Free to air Freesat channels (those include BBC's ITV's, ch4's and ch5). All the free ones I can receive till 18-19-20:00h (this 135 Tecatel is crap, and the gregorian kit is so damaged that finding the main focus is...

Well, now I am back in Valencia and I have my white card with me. I activated it in my Sky box in London and Pair them by phone with Sky. The Sky box remains in London. The current version of my Vantage8000S firmware didnt recognise the card so I downloaded the last one from the manufacturer and...

thank you PaulR and Tivú. Its an official Sky Card. We are SKY phone & broadband subscribers here in London, so we called them to get a legal White Card from them, and costed 25£. We are no subscribing to any TV service, so it must be, as we asked, a FreesatfromSky card. But its seems an...

Hi all. I am spending the summer in London, and I have purchuased a Sky White card. Now I have to activate this card. My question is this: Does it need to be paired? will them ask me for a STB serial number? If so... has the box to be a Sky box? (like the PACE I was given by a friend) or can...

Hello Huevos I need some advise urgentlly. In this forum someone talked about free CH4 HD... and then it was encoded. Now this. NDS encrypted for all these "free" channels means that i cannot get them with my FTA Vantage 8000S. Is it final? can i get a cardholder? I cannot believe i have a...

well I still dont know why I am not able to receive it... some say now its encoded with NDS, some say they get it clear... I get all 2A & 2B channels and also 2D till 22:00 more or less. is there a ch4 HD anymore or are we talking about something wicg is not receivable by y Vantage8000S?

fo some reason i cannot tune it... But i see some power beeing received there.

Well, what i keep on saying is that 10773 is worse from september on than ever on 2010 (even though it has never been a very good frec). I have always had five till 21 but now i have problems much sooner. So its the opposite to what happens to you! ;o) On the other hand i had quite lost both...

thats exactly what I said! E4 is better these days than in summer when they nearly dissapeared. But BBC1 london and Five are worse than ever...

Well, Valencia Here. 135 (not gregorian anymore) and same loss of FIVE trasnponder (affecting all the other channels there too, so i also had to move to BB2 Scotland) . After 20:00 Five is lost. Surprisingly enough one of the E4 More4, etc l4 lost transporders works great now, its back!! (still...

well i can say i have both channel 4 frequencies at Q=75% (viewable) at middays, for 3-4 hours. Then they fade. Quality under 75% on 2D means non viewable on my STB though i can see other ASTRA channels perfectly with 67% Quality. The rest of 2D is viweable till 22:30.- I keep on thinking...

Channel 4 On 10714 lost in Valencia. Cant get it any time of teh day, the rest are OK. I have tecatel 135, and 2D fades out at 22, but Channel 4 On 10714 has just dissapeared all day!!

best answer for a thread concerning tuners? i think people just dont have an idea of what a 2,4 m dish is like!!!... its bigger than most people's dining room! This thread is for other improvable features like tuners. I wish i have permission from my neighbours and garden to have a 2m dish...

Well, i'm still waiting for my dealer to change the damaged gregorian kit they provided me 2 MONTHS AGO!! (the surface is damaged and loss of screws and... between other bad conditions...) They say its the demo/exposition kit on the Tecatel factory... i dindt mind if it wasnt new but not if the...
