[QUOTE="barrykap, post: 403099, member: 179845"] Hmmm.. While the receiver is excellent generally, once again, like the Humax, using a motorised dish with it is somewhat difficult and prone to failures. It took me a few days to work out how to set the dish up as there is absolutely NOTHING in the manual about using a motorised dish. I had already tuned in a few sats via a 4-way Diseq switch and when finally sussing out how to change to mortorised dish I expected all my channels to be lost as is with most other receivers, but strangely it retained them all and what's more, it seemed to find the Sats using the motor straight away! So it must have some kind of 'Sat-finding' feature, or most likely has USALs as a default and takes one or more of the tuned Sats as a reference? As never once did it ask me for my lat/long position. Not sure really. Anyway, after a lot more dabbling I found how to manually search for sats and to fine-tune the position. There is no separate 'signal and quality' bar graph just a general locator graph. So it was not very good to use it for fine-tuning. Also, it seemed to lose a few Sats in the West after tuning them in. So rather than have this instability I reverted back to the 4-way Diseq switch on this receiver and will stick with that until perhaps Pace improve the motorised feature. As for the Dragon Cam, I could not get this to work at all, apart from it recognising it and allowing to enter codes, but this seemed a bit wrong too as I enter the first code and nothing happens. It won't move on to the next one and it also hangs up then and won't allow me to exit at all. A power-off was the only way to get out of it. I have had problems with this Cam on my Humax too as it doesnt seem to work now on that so maybe the Cam is at fault here. Generally though, it is a good quality receiver and I am sure if Pace attended to the finer points and explained in the manual how to get at them it would be a real winner at the price. [/QUOTE]
