Brilliant thanks man.

That will be due to S1 beam's footprint being weaker in the UK

Gidday. I've got a quick question, most probably a stupid question. If I hook my TM5200 to my computer is there a way to update the EPG. Because only 5 channels have EPG listings. Wishful thinking I guess...

Robbo · 27-07-08, 11:35 AM

No, 'fraid not.

If the data is available to the receiver it will populate the EPG, if it is isn't it won't. Some channels have better EPGs than others.

Hi all,

I have another quick question if I may. Is it possible to buy multiple LNB's that I can put on my Sky Zone 2 60cm dish and receive multiple Sats at the same time ? Say, 19.2,28.2 and 42 ?

satelliteman · 31-07-08, 07:32 PM

19e & 28e - not from the 42e slot

Also consider you have to use matched LNb's for the eliptical Z2 dish rather than standard. Why not get a motor !!

Ok, Motor it is. Which would you recommend. Can you also recommend a quad lnb for my zone 2 so I can pump the signal around the house. Any disadvantages using quad lnbs over single?

satelliteman · 31-07-08, 09:19 PM

A Quad required for a mini dish, although if you were to motorise, I would ...... wait for it.... change the dish personally.

Recommend:

> 80cm dish ( I won't mention my favourite LOL...)
> Moteck 2100a OR TM2200 OR consider a Stab 90

Why don't you try a Fracarro Penta 85cm?, a popular dish by all accounts.

If you want a quad for your Sky minidosh just get the cheapest you can get hold of, it doesn't matter too much. I think I paid about 8 quid from fleabay delivered- does the job.

I was trying to keep quiet Robbo re the PENTA , LOL

........ GO for the PENTA 85cm !!
