got into the sat seen just before ireland went nagra 3 started with box from lidi now have a real dm 800 spent good six seven messing around the sat scene is more trial and error and a learning curve than the cable scene

Hi Remzy and welcome to DK.

Well I've had a few over the years starting with a D2Mac Decoder (Analogue), Nokia (Digital, Still got that one in the loft), Humax 5400z (Digital, Still got it), Humax 5300. Got a few more somewhere can't remember what they are though.

Now I have a Dreambox 7000s, SpiderBox 9000HD and a Sly+ HD box.

4 dishes,4 receivers not including old d2mac days,bsb and old Amstrad srd 400 in loft.Think there a monterrey chapparall up there too.

I have a Humax Foxsat HD with a Diablo WiFi, a TM600, an Eagle, a TM1500, Fortec Star Innovative, Fortec Star Ultimate and a few others in the shed, 1.1M motorised dish and a Sky zone 1 both with quad LNB's and more cable going round the house than Virgin have in the street

[av2008]

I got a TM1000d (very good tuner), Tm9101s (My favourite one), DM500s original, Manhattan Plaza ST 100 and DM800 clone (nothing but unreliable signals).

My dish is a crappy beaten up 90cm Fortec Star on a Stab motor.

The funny thing is I have so many channels but I dont even watch them, its all about the game. I just end up watching my subbed box .

Some cable folk give me . They dont really understand the sat world. Some of the questions I get asked by friends that had 'cable' would make some sat enthusiasts fall to the floor laughing.

[southpaw83]

could you hook one of these boxes up to a sky dish and pick up channels?

Genuiely have no clue about the Sat scene

[mdt]

could you hook one of which boxs up to a sky dish and get some channels?, any cheap fta satellite receiver when used with a sky "mini-dish" will get you about 300 free channels with about 100 of them being ok. the other 200 are just a waste of bandwidth!
