Well this has put me off buying the 8000 !! What do you chaps reckon to the Technomate 7755VA ?? any good ? is it updateable/patchable ? Might be better spending my hard earned on that instead ? Regards Will

Its true ! I can speak German which is a bonus but its the wife I have problems with (in more ways than one !) Its good to hear that some of you guys mention with patched recievers we can get English films on a few of the sats so I am looking forward to that Will

HI thanks for reponse I was looking on kingofsat.net at the hotbird and Astra most were coming up as alternate languages. Maybe I missed something, so there are a few good channels to watch then, movies soaps music etc.. I am planning on getting a Technomate TM8000 HD HC HI box and 85CM clear...

Hi everyone, I have just saddened myself and my enthuisasm has been dampened about going for a motorised system or at least a 3LNB setup since I looked at the channel line up available ! There seems to be very little in English anywhere, I dont mind foreign mature content ! but surely there must be some...

UK is just pants really fro most technological things !

Hi Sharkadder, why is there never a simple solution wouldnt it be nice if we could get all of the channels from all of the satellties through a broadband connection. How easy would that be, I think there should be huge dishes erected in fields to provide the feeds, which are then sent down the...

Thanks for the info, dont worry I am from an engineering background and am quite used to plumbing apparatus to an accurate level, I can imagine the problems that could be ahead should the installations be done in a poor fashion ! ! I will get a little help from some of my colleagues

Thats the problem isnt it ! I used to live in Germany hence I want the german channels etc.. she cant sepak a word of it and will want to watch columbo or something ! The compromise is Columbo in Spanish with subtitles ! lol !

I am so impressed with the level of help you chaps have provided ! I cant wait to get going ! Just need to persuade my neighbour to lend me his ladder now ! What I might do then to start off with as it will be cheaper this way is get a Raven mini dish off Ebay for £20 62CM stick that up there...

Robb071 that looks like my ideal solution to be honest as my dish is on a small pole on the roof apex currently so if I motorised it I should be able to get 360degrees ! what about the LNB angle though (offset) is it the same for the other satellites ? I could always change my mini dish for a...

Thanks chaps for all the help, much appreciated, when you say a clear view how clear ! as if I stand in the corner of my back garden and face south east I can see the back of my house and my neighbours, I take it thats not clear !

OK thanks for the info ! time for a roof window then !

Hi All, New guy on the block here ! I have a sky dish pointing in the usual place, and really want to get hotbird and Astra 19E to get some additional channels, problem is I cannot put a bigger dish up due to it being on the front of my house (current mini dish) and I dont fancy putting an 80CM...
