I have just bought a combo myself this week and had the same problem while setting it up. I eventually left it and forgot about it for a couple of hours and it sorted itself out. I think it spends time looking for the update and it is either a very slow processor or it cannot find what it wants...

A quick update on TV Sat decoders. They are now appearing in southern Italy - Calabria and I have just found this link which means the price is coming down. _http://www.digital-sat.it/new.php?id=18894 At £120 incl. VAT, not bad now with HDMI as well. This includes the card and cam of...

A bit of an update on TivuSat Here in the south of Italy in Scalea (CS) I have just come across the first Humax 9000 Tivusat box with card. For a whole month I looked at every electronic goods shop and they hardly knew about the system never mind the box. The cost is 159 Euros and no you...

thanks a lot ralph for this, that is very useful although still think i will invest in a 1.5m next year. there seems to be quite a lot to get with a 1.5 from this part of the world. will drop you a pm with my email as well.

next time you we are both 'here', we must make contact and compare notes. I am determined to get back into this. I used to love my echostar analogue in those early days but had left the technology and now its a different world again. I should be here till end of Nov before we had back.

I think it must be something like that because I first found out about the 9 deg spot through a packed cheap generic FTA receiver in the local supermarket. The writing on the box said something to the effect that is ready for the new 9deg tranmissions without reference to TivuSat . This was 12...

I am presently in Italy latitude 39° 49' N longitude 15° 47' E and can view 2B easily to get BBC News 24 and Sky News among some others on Eurobird1. I am aware that the footprint for 2D falls sharply at the north of Italy but cannot make a reasonable guestimate for a dish size for this part of...

I had a look at the mediaset site and quite like that Humax Kit. I like the combined DTT /DSAT receivers. However there is no link to buy so I wonder whether they are in fact available. Also, I notice that they are offering a monoblock for 9/13 deg. Is there some intention to move all the...

Looking at the mediasat site, the advertised products by humax particularly the packaged kit, looks much like a Freesat set up but with a combined DTT receiver which I like. However I cannot understand why they are not selling them because there is no link to buy it. I suspect that they have...

I am in Italy where I have a house and I cannot find dealer in the South of Italy that has even heard of TivuSat. On my way back home, will try to stop up north somewhere maybe they are available.
