Hi Punky

Glad you've decided to become an active contributor. Careful on those roofs though!

My Satellite Setup
DM800SE, gibertini op85 and maplin motor

Hi everyone.

I have been messing with my satellite system for a few years now.

I used a DM7020 until HD came out and swapped for DM800SE.

I have had to swap out two malfunctioning motors. A stab90 was the original and it lasted for a good few years and then went for a maplin one which worked for a couple of years until a few weeks ago when it decide it would only go east. So I bought a new maplin one thinking it would be an easy swap. It wasn't. The rotor arm was welded in place so I had to swap everything out and so had to re align everything. I could only find hot bird and Thor last Sunday and ran out of light. Just had a mess about this afternoon due to my phone line being down and having to wait in for the BT engineer to replace the faulty wall socket. Managed to get sky at 100% and hotbird at 90% average per channel. Re aligned some of the other satellites so I think my arc isn't too far out of whack.

Hopefully I can pick up enough tips on this site to get my system tuned to perfection.

Thanks

Ian

Howdy, i've spoken with a number of you on other forums in the past or on facebook, but never really came on this site.
So i'd like to introduce myself.

Im ren, and im proud to be a satellite enthusiast and a lover of news and politcs.
I'll take this opportunity to explain my set-up which will probably lead on to me asking questions at a future date.
In the house we have 2 satellite set ups, mine and the houses.

Mine consists of a fracaro penta 85cm which leads to the kitchen and my vantage combo receiver, I also have a strong srt8000 seca 2 receiver which im trying to get to work. i also have 2 other dishes and an assortment of lnb's located in the garage.
also leading into the vantage is by cable tied lnb for 19east which is attached to the sky dish.

The house set up is SKY HD+ in the living room, sky HD multiroom in the bedroom, + 1 sd receiver in the 2nd bedroom and a 2nd sd receiver waiting to to be installed into the 3rd bedroom but that requires 2 things, ( 1 a octo lnb & 2 my son to turn 7 as his sister had to be 7 before she got a tv) so thats 2 years away.

when it comes to the world of cams, keys, cards and encryption i know nothing!

Thanks for your time and hopefully you will be able to teach me more.


Regards


Ren

Welcome Ren - sadly the games with keys and cards are long gone - the encryptions have been tightened up immensely in the last 5 years or so.
