Best reciever for motorised dish.

[adewolves]

I've recently bought a 1 metre motorised dish and was wondering what is the best reciever to use with it. I currently use a skybox f5 with my fixed dish and read that this box wouldn't be suitable. Also I was wondering what sort of price I would be charged to have the dish installed...bear in mind I have all the fittings for the dish...just need it fitted. Just a rough estimate as I don't want to be ripped off.

gigablue+ and install the dish yourself regards jovie

Cheers. My diy skills are bordering on crap mate I wouldn't even attempt to do it myself.

a lot of installers give free quotes, most local anyway give them a call tell them what you have got, I know over the phone you cant hold them to exact price till they see your location etc but they should be able to give you a ball park figure.

which model of the gigablue has recording problems posted on all the forums and the manufactor is working on a fix? i like the vu boxes.originals only.

Thanks for all your replys. What's your thoughts on spiderboxes. ..I'm not bothered about twin tuners as I won't be recording stuff.

[cactikid]

not used spiderbox thinking old closed source gift box??like the newer boxes e2 boxes with open source tv and you can get single tuner boxes like an octagon sf8 for ?119.

what's the make of the motor and the dish and the lnb? And your lcoation ie roughly. Also what sats do you want to get and why? Have you a clear view of the sky looking southwards ie all tall trees or buildings?

[adewolves]

1 metre dish DiSEq 1.2 motor 0.2 lnb. ..If that makes sense. I have no restricted view its all clear. I want it for sports more than anything. .football. I know where to purchase the cline although I know it's not allowed to be spoken about on here.

Nova viasat sky Italia. ...etc

you dont say your location, name of motor, ie dark motor, technomate, motek , you know the name on the box, a lot of people are going the iptv route for football now, by the way if you say your location roughly we may even know an installer but if you are in europe ?????

[adewolves]

It's a Technomate DiSEqC H-H Motor TM-2300 M2. I live in a place called Perton just outside Wolverhampton...cheers for all your help.

edit your thread and just say midlands, you will get 42east to 30west at your location and with a good installer, some of 7west. And install should be around 150, you need a job well done, so do it properly from the outset. A pole with 2 x t&k brackets is the usual method so holes need drilling, then you need cable runs. it all takes time and time is money.

There are so many receivers out there now its a minefield. To start you off I would recoomend a spiderbox 6000hd, it does USALS to drive dish as well, you wont know what USALS is but basically you put in your location cordinates to box and the sofwtare caculates the exact location for each satellite from your lcoation. And it makes an install much much easier. DISEQ1.2 is really old now, in that you have to move dish to each satellite location and save it. The receiver actually moves the dish. You need to do quite a bit of reading up. All the receivers usually need a bit of interaction with the user, ie load sofwtare, load channel lists. Some suppliers configure box for you as well. look at wos = world of satellite.
