Thumbs up Re: ab7 at 7w reception reports

Would Usals do a better job or even improve it for that matter

What am saying is that say you download the Hannibal settings for the DM 800 and then see if all channels work.

Because I have noticed that driving the motor manually and if your slightly off then you wont pick all the channels via a scan.

You can use either diseqc 1.2 or usals ..... in usals you can set it to 7.1w 7.2 7.3 6.9 to see if it helps with local conditions like local noise



Btw panorama action is advertising some very new movies from tomorrow ... 1st day of feast and 2nd 3rd 4th

I can't obtain 7w mate, as I have the roof of the house in the way blocking the dish from getting that satellite. I can get from 5W, 0.8W, 4.8E, 7E, 9E, 13E, 19E, 23E 26E 28.2E without any problems. Rest of them can't get them.

I personally use USALS with my DM800 as i feel it is the best & easiest rather then using Diseq
