hi m8, if you swap the tm for a freesat box then you wont be able to control your motorised dish and it needs to be statioary on [email protected] east although i think that humax do a freesat box that has diseqec 1.2 built into it but it is still fairly limited for multi-sat work. freesat stb,s are really for using with fixed dishes on astra2, my advice would be get a second zone 1 mini-dish fitted and use it with a freesat box and keep your motorised dish for multi-sat . regards mdt P.S. all of the freesat channels are receivable with your current set up but you will only get now-and-next epg info and not the 7-day freesat epg.

Thanks for the very useful info.
I am now wondering whether to get a TM600.
I have seen them for sale here.

New to the satellite scene so hopefully this is a straight forward question......with the following set up Technomate TM-5200D USB, 0.1db lnb, TM2600 motor and a 85cm Penta dish, would it be possible to swap the reciever with a freesat box and pick up the free sat channels

Thanks.

hi m8 with the setup you suggest no need to swap tm-5200 for a freesat box as tm 5200 picks up freesat from sky + sky freebie channels anyway you would need a freesat box if you planned on a fixed dish system to astra 28.2 east and have the tm 5200 for the motorised setup .but if you are planning just to move between sats tm 5200 is all you need ,no need to shell out more money for something you already have.
