Well, after my exciting first two weeks of satellite digital TV reception, I'm thoroughly sick of the repeated crashes triggered by specific frequencies on the 19.2°E cluster (for example, watching channels on Astra 1H's transponder #77: 11.954GHz H 27500-3/4). I really hadn't expected that a signal could bring the tuner down and take the whole box with it.
So far, not even an acknowledgement of my polite email requesting help sent to tech_support@fortecstar.com so I'm planning to reject the receiver as unfit for purpose, and return it to the retailer. Such a shame, because when it works, the box is easy to use, and has some nice viewer-centric features. Can anyone recommend a reliable simple TVB-S receiver which I can use for watching channels on 19.2°E? I'm not in the mood to waste any more time with Fortec Star products, unless that would mean missing something guaranteed to be good. I don't think I need to spend more than about £50 to get a simple user-friendly TVB-S receiver, but then what do I know? Thanks for any clues, JST

One of the Technomates should be fine, for FTA only, the TM5200.
