Hi!
Used to be well into feed hunting when i lived on a farm on the wirral, i had a 1.8 ?maybe a 2.4? dish, Loads of old anolouge kit, card programmer, season interface, manual positoner, d2mac decoder and lots of sky progrsamming shenanigans.
Eventually moved out of home about 2001 about the same time high winds or maybe my dads tractor knocked over my dish smashing it.
Been waiting for the digital scene to settle down an have finally upgraded my kit (i can;t find any of my old pic cards or programmer since i moved into my own place)
got a technomate 5400+ super in black off ebay last week and have spent the last few days leaning out of the window an janking on the sky mini-dish to move between 28e to 19e an 13e while i get let down by a sucession of second hand dishes off places like gumtree and ebay.
I'd found an ace set up for 70quid that had a channel master 1.2 an actuator an vbox positioner + lnb etc but i got beat by a eastern european who apparently sellotaped the thing to his roof an drove happily away with what should of been my dish!
Its probably a faux pas to admit to janking the rusty dish about on the wall to pick up the fta signals but i dont know why people get so worried about finding the sats i got a really good signal first time
i miss analouge! used to love sitting outside on the farm in the late 90's with a 60-80cm dish an a homemade ground spike picking up european satellites with an amstrad grx? 200 and a tiny portable telly!
hopefully i'll get a few months of free telly out of my technomate ( thats like calling it gabbafella or trancefriend) with the softcams before i have to get more serious an prog a card or buy a cam.
Currently is there any reason to buy a cam? is there anything i can't softcam with a 1.1m triax dish motorised, that i could decode if i invested in a cam?? i'm looking forward to getting back to the scandinavian satellites. tv1000 was my fav. hehe bad action films and ropey ~~~~ made it seem dodgy an fun when i was a teenager!
My old dish never went past 10w i dont think or so due to less than professional set-up an actuator, i'm lookin forward to the luxury of auto positioning h-h mount! luxury! i want to see whats happening on hispasat 30w etc.
never had it so good !
hugz peace love and fairy poo 2 all the peeps i'll be asking for advice when the keys need updating and next doors cat eats my lnb
oh an will it interfear with my set up ( homemade ground stand with a 6ft pole to clear fences etc) if i mount a cb pole on the back of my mast?
in a bit...
