Loads!

Hispasat 1B / 1C / 1D (30W)

Atlantic Bird 1 (12.5W)

Atlantic Bird 2 / Telecom 2D (8 W)

Atlantic Bird 3 (5W)

Thor 2 / 3 (1W)

Astra 1C (2E)

Sirius 2 / 3 (5E)

Eutelsat W3A (7E)

Eutelsat W1 / Eurobird 10 (10E)

Hotbird 2 / 6 / 7A / 8 (13 E)

Eutelsat W2 (16E)

Astra 1E / 1F / 1G / 1H / 1KR, 2C (19.2E)

Astra 3A (23.5E)

Arabsat 3A (26 E)

Astra 2A / 2B / 2D / Eurobird (28.2 E)

Hellas Sat 2 (39 E)

Turksat 1C / Eurasiasat 1 (42E)

Express AM 22 (53E)

should all be in range fairly easily with at least some tp's. You may get some further west than 5W as well - I have trees in the way on the western part of the arc.

You will need to check and update your transponder list for each satellite to ensure reception of all the available channels

paulgid · 30-12-06, 02:04 PM

how do you do that?

BGonaSTICK · 30-12-06, 02:27 PM

If you select the satellite in question at one of the big indexing sites like Kingofsat.net, flysat.com or lyngsat.com you will find a fairly up-to-date list of transponders.

A transponder definition basically consists of four pieces of information:

1) Frequency
2) Polarisation
3) Symbol Rate
4) Forward Error Correction

You can look up what these mean in our Glossary

You will then need to list the transponders in your receiver, and see if there are any differences - updating those that are new or have changed slightly.

This can be a real pain in the butt, and it is often easier to do this by importing a 'satcodx' file, or using a channel editor on your PC if the manufacturer of your satellite receiver provides one.

can the humax hdci-2000 be updated by computer and what would i need to buy.

cheers paul

BGonaSTICK · 31-12-06, 04:16 PM

Have a look at the Humax support website, but I'm sure the answer is yes.

You'll also need a null-modem lead.

paulgid · 06-01-07, 11:19 AM

i have bought a null modem lead.where do you download new transponder for the update.?
does the receiver have to be connected to the coax cable and TV when being updated as have only got desktop PC.

thanks Paul

If its the same as my TMS 1500 CI+ you won't need to have your receiver connected to the dish.

It only needs to be connected to the dish if you are downloading updates from the satellite itself although i don't know if the humax receiver is supported in this way

There should be software available to allow you update the software, transponder lists etc as the Humax receivers are fairly well supported. Its just a case of looking.

You can try the Humax site or other Satellite forums

As stick said there might be stuff available on the Humax site. You will need to register on the Humax web site to download what ever software is available
