Hi Channel hopper I’m in Hampshire/Surrey border. I have a zone2 aimed at Hotbird (bought to experiment :D ) and a Sky minidish to Astra (and full sky subscription) for the missus )(-red . The Raven was bought with the only purpose of getting Hispasat 30W for TV cabo. I’m only asking about...

Hi, I’ve got my Raven Gemini 90 now. It was supposed to be set for Hispasat 30w only but it came with an extra 4 LNB bracket (Multisat twin 6 – 44 deg Kit). Raven 90 cm 5 LNBs Can I get from 1W to 30W with this setup? If yes, which sat should I aim at for the central LNB? What other...

Hi satsearcher! I live in Hampshire/Surrey border and have a zone2 dish. I can get astra19E (90%), and hotbird13E (80%). I think you might struggle with a zone1 for hotbird.

Thanks again rob43! I asked my brother to contact technical support in Portugal and ask about the whole thing, boxes, cards, cams etc. knowing him it might take a few days (lazy g***). I'll let you all know what ever info he comes back with! Thanks Tuga.

Oi! Obrigado. The problem with the matrix reloaded is that no one knows for how long it will work on Hispasat, it could change tomorrow. I really wouldn’t mind to pay approx £15 (Portuguese price) for a sub to TV Cabo. Unfortunately what "they" told me was that using TV Cabo's cards with a...

Hi rob43 My receiver is a Manhattan 5500 2CI-IR. It has an embebed cam and 2 CI slots. it is supposed to have been patched with 6in1 but i can't (dont know how to) confirm this. Thanks!

Hi guys! I was given a phone number to call and arrange a subscription to TV Cabo and so I did. Now the problem…they told me that TV Cabo doesn’t sell cards, they only sell the card AND the box together, and that costs £319 with installation, and that excludes subscription! )(-red I...

Yeeesssss…. Finally got it! RTPI is now showing on my TV! Didn’t have a compass and couldn’t work out the angles, offsets and such so decided to just “sweep” the sky. :rolleyes: From about 45E to South, slowly. Each time decreasing the elevation of my dish by 2. Only took 10 minutes!!! How...

Ok... I got a “digital level thing” from work so I can set the inclination very accurately. Am I right in thinking that I can set it buy putting a normal spirit level ( just because is very straight) across the face of my dish, then rest the “thing” on it and tilt the dish until it indicates...

Thanks modern! I was writting the reply to rolfw so didnt see your post before!

Thanks rolfw! I am afraid that 28E would be very difficult since I have 2 big chimneys at that angle! I really want to get 19E so I can watch RTPI. It looks like whoever was using this receiver before was watching mainly hotbird looking at the channel list. I don’t think I can get that one...

Hi guys I finally got my receiver (Manhattan 5500 CI)and my dish (sky 60cm with universal LNB).. I am aiming at Astra 19E, or trying any way… Of course I couldn’t get anything on my first attempt… First I can’t even get a signal on my receiver…all I get is a bit of a red bar…not even yellow...

Obrigado! Just 1 more ….please! When u say u can get Gran Via on hispasat (3 channels), U mean that AND Cabo right?

Thanks Razor! I was writing the reply to Guiri! I really need to know if there is any other channels worth watching on Hispasat apart from Cabo since the money I will have to spend is enough for the subscription anyway… Thanks again guys! Tuga

Hi! Thanks for your help. OK….so what you saying is that the embebed 6in1 cam on my system is useless for what I want? You also said that the funcard days are over, but then said “you might be better off buying a new cam (eg. MR, that can be loaded with fun cards)” Now I’m really confused…...
