And I advise never use a payserver, look at a small share between friends and family. Commercial shares are never a good avenue to take.

Now thats 100% good advice !!!!!!!
Payservers are pants.......

[smirnoff_rules]

unless its from a friend u know and his sharing to u , then give him a drink to help pay his bill

bit harsh that lads i only asked as i have never used any dish or had sky,so i think its a fair question,just bcos u no the ins and outs of all this doesn't mean every 1 else does,and I'm shore u will b asked allot more times,u asked people to ask u about this so a yes m8 any dish will do would of been nice not just for me but many other people on here that would like to no.

No offence meant but start as we mean to go on.
Any dish new or old with a universal lnb attached is a good start.
Pointed at whatever your prefernce is some like s*y
Hotbird is better in my opinion 13E
Live football in English on 30W and 19E Sport TV Liga Inglish etc etc
If your seriously thinking about satellite go motorised. A 90cm and all bracketry & motor required will set you back about 100-130 quid. Installation varies but everyones got a ma8 in the satellite game so pot luck on installation
Motorised gives you all the choice. I currently have 8600 channels on my starview about 75% english speaking
Not to mention all the nrop ;-)

I believe you can use Knightrider on these boxes aswell.
Ive uploaded it here
Digital Kaos - Downloads - Starview 9600 Cacci Firmware

Test at your own risk I have not tested this on the 9600.

Think it's OK Byte, seen on another forum several members used
it on 9600 box & worked fine

Pm messaging

post the queries here folks and not via pm, that way your question and answers can be shared for all to see.

[gadgetfiend]

Asking folk to post queries in open forum for all to see about cs is getting a bit dangerous m8 its surely not allowed.

Nice one guys, ill sit and wait for the servers to come back on and in the mean time ill purchase a dish, maybe even a motorised one seeing as there not to dear and have a mess about with the sat side to give me something to do for a while.

Big thanks to all of you in the know who help the little people like me, keep up the great work you are all very appreciated.

Regards Marti.

Input 1 line when done press
exit then save is highlighted then hit ok.
Do same on all lines and when all lines complete click apply at bottom of screen.

ta mate, will look tomorrow. i tried to exit once field was filled in but still did not show, is this correct, and wots the point in having a save option if you cant use it. bloody dreams and blades make more sense to do.

could i use a normal sly dish

it depends on what sat you wish to view m8 28E 13E 19.2E should be fine with a sly dish, but if you wanted to view for instance 7W you would need a very big dish, please let us know what sat/s you would like to view and we can advise you


@ satsmo hope you are kepping well m8
