[QUOTE="vma, post: 1096642, member: 256592"] One thing I learned from this very forum is how to use the fabulous archive.org! Take a look here: [URL="https://web.archive.org/web/20160124195815/http://www.swires.com/downloads.html"]All of our downloadable files[/URL] But yes, devices like these are normally useless, unless you are some sort of radio amateur playing with the supported signals or a collector. Industry moves on very quickly and DVB-S/C/T have moved to DVB-S2/C2/T2. The same with analogue TV that moved to MPEG2, then to MPEG4/h-264 and is not at h-265 HEVC. While old satellite meters are still useful when they can render the spectrum (IMHO the best price/performance ratio still is the Satlook Emitor Digital NIT, which can be bought for less than 100 Euro on eBay with some patience), most other devices are of little to no use.
