    works even with the original firmware.
    I use mine in the colonies with a motor/fixed dish all the time.
    You just have to get into the settings and change from no motor to motorized and the type.I use diseqc setting.
    Add sats manually to the sat list.I had to.

      If you have AJ's list on the box.......All the sat's are already on your box the sat's just need scanning for the channels

      It can but you can only store 4-5 sat;s on the old F3's then the memory is full (F5s may hold more)

      Have a read here.....http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...motorised-dish

      Use USALS the automatic satellite search already installed on the box
      just find your Long & lat and enter them in the box

      Click here to find your Longitude & Latitude to enter in the box
      ......click kere

        I used a f5 on motor but they only hold about 5000 channels so you have to do a lot of deleting. As I remember there are no channel list to download you will have to make your own

          No need to make a channel list just scan each sat you want...then if you want to save it so you can amend any future changes easy
