Watching the Premeirship on a humax and other equipment?

[yohomufc]

should i buy all the equipment and then get a local satellite install bloke to set it up for me and talk about it with him as i know very little on this?

 

[rolfw]

May be worth getting a local guy to come round first and look at the site, just to see that you have line of sight to the required satellites.

 

[yohomufc]

it should be alright

my house faces north and im in kent

 

[rolfw]

You will need either a south facing wall with clear aspect or a place in the garden for a ground mount.

 

[yohomufc]

yeah we have got that

i cant seem 2 find a patched humaxes on the astratech website

 

[rolfw]

The Humax patched receivers are a little thin on the ground at the moment, it is not necessarily what I would buy though anyway. The Technomate is a good receiver, combine that with a magic module and you have a very flexible system, you must be prepared to roll up your sleeves and learn how to update the software etc.

 

[yohomufc]

willing to learn m8, what stuff will i need for the technomate then, obviously i will need a dish!

 

[rolfw]

A dish, LNB, motor, wall or patio mount, Magic Cam, Programmer and card or two.

I definitely agree about getting a survey first yohomufc. A good one will always do it for free and let you decide whether you're happy with the suggested position and setup plus the cost of course. The only other criteria is make sure he or she isn't an Arsenal supporter or you never know what you'll end up with.

 

[yohomufc]

i think i wont tell the bloke what team ill support, if hes a chelsea supporter it would be even worse

 

[pixey]

Support your LOCAL team, that's what I say.
