With E2 This receiver is unstable. However with Spark not only is it stable but the video image is brilliant. It lacks on EPG; I hope further upgrades will improve this. Changing channels requires you to restart the 2.1.4 cccam I have installed. Will Oscam or another version of cccam or mgcamd...

Thank you. Nano. I do not want to learn Spark. Besides its EPG is lacking. I am not a newbie, by the way.

Thank you for a prompt answer, Is any version of Enigma 2 all right ? Cccam or Oscam any version would work, or, is there a particular version that works best?

It is a stupendous receiver, but it comes embarked with the spark image but with the possibility of a second boot with another software. As I am not used to spark, I would like Enigma 2. Anyone with enough experience with the Amiko Alien 2 to suggest a good Enigma 2 image? and a cccam package to...

Hi, I have a DM800HD BL70. I wish to load the Gemini2 5.1 image in flash to replace the DreamElite Blackhole beta version. This, because I want access to the Gemini Server. Do I need to change the SIM card to 2.01? Which version BL do I need? Thank you for responding

Hi, According to its footprint, Eutelsat W6 at 21.6°E does not qualify as a fringe. However, I am unable to lock on TP 11555H SR 5000. DVBS-2. I do use a DVBS-2 tuner. Are common universal LNBs the cause? Would a precise L.O. solve the problem? If so, how precise? PLLs are quite expensive. Do...

Precision Gold NF 0.5db is selected from NJR6921 just as are Norsat 7000/6600. Because of the simplified requirement as to DRO stability (1mhz) and the absence of a filter (necessary in VSAT). The Precision Gold NF 0.5db series is cheaper for TV use and promises better SNR. May be a good...

I installed a samsung 160g. well posted and formatted and recognised by the system. Initially I wanted to tranfer VAR, but as The machine does not have USB facilities, COMPUFUNK suggested that I only transfer addons. If I needed to open a directory for files on the hdd, how do I point to the...

DM600 S finally arrived. I've put in the latest Gemini 4.60. Scanned Astra2. Downloaded the latest CCCAM and config. When I opened EXTRA/SETTINGS I found no way to transfer files to HDD. So there must be another way. Could you explain please. Thank you

thank you, compufunk, for your input. I shall put all pluggins on the hdd and see how it goes. After all pluggins do take plenty of space. I never use multibooting. I hope to have all the space for my intended 19 satellites.

Thanks for the reply HB13DISH but with the dm600 what other choice do I have? OK the hdd always spins but it always delivers information in a computer. I bought a 600 on e b a y and expect it arrives to morrow. I do not even know if it has the option.

As the DM600 has no USB I am wondering if I could put VAR on HDD instead. Has this been done?

Hi there, I have just finished setting up a motorised 110cm Bigsat dish (measures 110cm width), at my office in Brussels. I used a B.E.S.T Germany single output LNBF on an FTEMax 212 receiver. I am getting all Nilesat vertical and horizontal TPs, even Fox News on TP 11804 H. But weather is...

With the advent of BADR 6 we became further away fron the usual BADR footprint. What dish size is required now? I am intending to use my old prime focus 180cm Hirschmann dish. I do not know how good it is by to-day's standards. I have to recast a cement block with imbedded bolts. The original...

Hi pride21 If you are getting such good performance in sandown, I should be able to obtain at least the same with a CM120. as we all know it is not because the lnb is labeled 0.1db that it performs well. what is this lnb? there are certainly other considerations that explain its performance...
