Hi sorry about that its a non super

[thijs]

would be pretty much the same as your tm 5400 only with HD channels extra

[hkhksh]

OK thanks for the info any idea what the going price is for a 2'nd hand model is ?

[thijs]

I've seen a super 2nd hand for ?159 so i would not pay more then ?75 for a non super in good condition

Thanks thijs i've got ?90 spare to spend so don't know what to got for, i said i would stop with a TM but a friend told me spiderbox are good so don't know what to go for now ???

[thijs]

i don't know much about the spiderboxes but the support is a bit better on them then on the tm's and the spiderbox has a ethernetport so for that money i would go for a spiderbox

Hi hkhksh. I bought a secondhand TM6800 HD(NON SUPER) for twenty pounds in a car boot sale. It was working ok but only problem was it does not do BLIND SEARCH although the manual says it does. I gave it my cousin for 50 pounds.. Good profit made.

Damm why cant i find a bargain like that . Sick of looking on ebay

Hi. To be honest with you i thought it was going to give me problems because i would never spend more than 30 pounds at a car boot sale for a receiver. I was amazed at how well it worked. I gave it away purely because it had no BLIND SEARCH option which comes in very handy when looking for new channels. Take care.

just bought a 2nd hand mint 6900 super combo for ?75 over on av forums (sorry if i am not allowed to mention other sites). Got sick of being outbid on e8ay - prices were upto ?150 for this model, so reckon i have bought a bargain! Keep your eye open there!

Thanks thijs for pointing me in the right direction

yeah nothing wrong with spiderboxes,at the moment lots of stable channels via ethernet just make sure its an HD box.

[Nutsandbolts]

Hi. well done. Like i said you dont want to be paying too much for second hand stuff unless you got proof of them working. At things like car boot sales i have a limit of 30 pounds and no more. Regards.

Hi. what is a spiderbox , can it be motorized and is it easy to setup like the TM5400 SUPER??. Also what about the cost?? Any info greatly appreciated. Regards.

[thijs]

[Nutsandbolts]

Ok. Thanks. i will have a look in the next few days and see if i like it.

[hkhksh]

Hi again can the 6800 HD be updated ( softkeys ) via USB like my TM- 5400 non super

[thijs]

yes indeed

[hkhksh]

yes indeed

Thanks thijs , ive also sent you a PM

[thijs]

did you i recieved no pm what was it about?

[hkhksh]

did you i recieved no pm what was it about?

i will send it again

[thijs]

to be honest ?40 would not be bad for this high quality fta HDreciever it all depends what you will be using it for it has no ethernet port so you can't use it for cccam easily you can use the softcams but there's no garantee on what's open tommorow
and you have to bid on it so you will not get it for that price
If you have ?90 to spend look for a HD reciever with a lanport
and most of them will use softcams too and some of them have a free gift on it
