i am new to satellite, i want to do SAT card sharing, yes i read and read all about card sharing.

i need to buy equipment like dish, sat receiver, motor

my question is i want to buy this

"Jaeger 99 Gold H-H Satellite Motor + 1metre Dish", would this work with DM 500s Chinese clone, thanks in advance

[father ted]

tbh some 500 s have a problem in turning the motor, if i was you id look at a dm 600 or even an 800 hd

There are so many places in China making clones, it is impossible
to say. In your position I would buy all the equipment in one place in England. With buying clones from anywhere, only buy on word of mouth. If you interested in buying from one particular place, name the place and ask for opinions. If there is none don't buy.

hi, get yourself a 1meter dish/tm2600 motor and a tm500/600. it will cost about ?200 for everything you need. imo there are just to many risks with dmm clones from china although alot of people swear by them. regards mdt

I recommend the the TM600 for the few extra ?'s great box for the money and easy to update the img. Also you can record to usb or hhd. Pic and sound are excellent.

also consider the Spiderbox 7000HD good box for the money

Is the TM600 linux based? Can you do the cs in TM600 as you can do in D500S ?

Depends on your Budget !

You can pick up a Motorised Dish on Ebay for as little as ?99.95 Satgear 80cm Motorised Satellite Dish Kit - Off-White on eBay (end time 07-Jul-10 16:05:40 BST)

Then comes your choice of receiver HD or SD ? that will define how much money your willing to spend, Another question to ask yourself do I buy a Clone or an original thats your choice.

Im not getting into telling you what to buy as too many arguments break out over which receiver to go for Dreambox-Technomate-IP receivers-Spiderbox etc.

You will need around 400 quid to set yourself up (HD) a little cheaper if you can put up the dish yourself or stay with SD

i want to say thanks to every one for the advice,i have never been to a forum where i got this much reply, thank again.

i need to get Arabsat so i must have 1.2cm or 1 meter dish.

my budget is ?50 for DM 500s, so plz tell me that DM 500s will not let me down on sat cardsharing?

my budget for dish and motor is ?100, i must have 1 meter or 1.2, for the dish i don't mind second hand good condition,

TM600, DM800 and spiderbx 7000hd are great boxes but is out of my budget.

1.2mt is just about the max you want on a diseqc motor the TM2600 should be ok.
