HI
I had a comag from Lidl for years without any problem.Have moved on to the Fortec Passion(was it a good move?).This was on the recommendation of Maplin,owing to Hd taking off.As I am having problems with the Passion is there a way I could fetch my old box from the attic and use it with my Passion?At the moment the Passion is turning the dish everywhere but at the satellite since upgrade,perhaps the Comag could rotate the dish somehow?

If the comag has Diseqc and possibly USALS then Yes. You could either use the IF Loopthrough or fit a twin LNB.

with loopthrough, one of the receivers will have to be in standby for the other one to operate.

much obliged for answer.Will wipe the dust off and give it a go,then maybe a Dreambox or TM might be a good idea.
