Diablo Light Question

[benny/9]

Hi Benny

I would like to get the best kit when i am buying and wouldnt mind getting a subscription card if i could get a lot of channels by sharing.

what kind of box would i need for this and would it be easy to join a club and what other equip will i need.

This sounds like the best way to go and i would be very gratefull if you could advise me .

Thanks

chris.

hi m8,
i'm not on card share or know which is the best group to join.
i know you need a sub card thats not on the share server to get in,
i'm sure others who do this now will give you more info than i can.
as for a receiver i would say the dreambox is the one to go for
and you need a memory stick, null modem cable for certain tasks
you also need a lan ethernet cable to connect the receiver to
your modem, from box to modem you use a strait wired from box to
computer a crossover cable, i hope i have remembered correctly

Hi Benny

After reading that i think i will go for a good quality technomate and v box,
It sounds very technical for a beginner

Where would be the best place to get my receiver and lnb and new 18" actuator the old one is seized,

Thanks

Chris

hi m8,
the dreambox is a bit tricky at first and it is a lot to take on for a new
sat user and you would still need the v-box to move the dish
now if your going to changed the superjack motor your self there
is a square cover with four screws over where the wires go into the motor
make sure they are changed over in the corect order or you will blow the
reed switch, also look on the rear of the receiver which wire goes write
it down you will have motor 1 motor 3 read or pulse and ground
these have to go on the rear of the v-box in the correct order or the motor
will be damaged, i will add how to set a v-box up doc for you to download
and read, on this post, as for the other info
i dont like to put links to other dealers i will send you a pm

Benny... Can you not power these 'big dishis' via the mains or is that stupid?

not that i know of mate,
they work on a 36v motor useing a four wire connected to a v-box that converts 36v to diseqc 1.2 when used with modern receivers that now dont support the 36v motor feature, which is a step back in my opinion,unlike diseqc 36v dont get knocked off line in high wind
it does require two cables from the dish a four wire motor cable and the cable from the lnb. and a 36v moves the dish faster and when set correctly never misses it's target when changing satellites. everyone should be aware that you cant use the [usuals motor settings]
with a v-box and 36v superjack motor and if you mix the motor wires with reed/pulse or ground wires you will blow the reed switch in the motor.and you can buy a stand alone box to move the dish, i dont know why
anyone would go this way. once the dish limits are set. you then control everything with the receiver remote just as a diseqc motor set up
