Last three weeks I have been spending reasonable amount of time with a new 6900HD bought on eBay, please shred your comments and directions for better use of the equipment
1) The Dish and motor were provided and installed by a local sat provider. They guy who did the work, have managed to get a 30-30 view of sky. This was primarily because of terrace I have. Guy charged me ?300 for TM2200 H-H, 85CM dish, Mounts L&K, Rod and install on back of second floor. Not sure this is a reasonable pricing.
2) The Sat- Guy adviced me that I would have trouble on motor if I used more lengthier cable. Though it worked okay when the Sat-guy was there. But lately I had trouble in moving the dish. dish just froze one satellite, and I have turn of the receiver and turn back on. managed to get it to work after few tries with different satelites.
3) New issue came to light when I plugged in my terrestrial antenna (as receiver is capable of terrestrial). Dish just froze to one satellite and won't move whatever I do try. When I plugged off the terrestrial cable, everything was back to normal. However the Sony tv I had didn't find any issues with terrestrial at any stage.
4) I end up in querying TM for the above issue, and they said I may have double earth problem and advised me to check with a indoor antenna. I had a powered indoor antenna, and when I plugged in that, satellite did work, but was sluggish. Decided to remove the terrestrial out of the box.
5) Apart from these box seems to be okay (though this is the first sat box I'm using with a motorised dish), downloaded channel lists, software and even magic patch from another forum. All seems to be okay.
6) Not sure of these softcam keys, posted by Thommo and Sadiq, mainly because I do not know how to make use of these.
