Advice on new receiver

[stevethejack]

My current set up is a 1 metre dish, positioner and Humax 5400Z and Diablo CAM.

The power supply unit died on me on the weekend, a common fault, but it has lasted my 10 years +.

I've tried changing the capacitor that generally goes (C9), but to no avail.

I'm thinking of going for a new receiver, as it's £35 for a new PSU.

I'm thinking along the lines of a TM-5400D CI. Can anyone advise if this is a good choice, considering my current hardware?

Or is there something else, around the £100 mark that would suit me better?

Thanks
Steve

The TM5400 should do fine.It has a slot for the diablo, Diseqc for the positioner and also a USB slot for PVR capability.

Thanks for the advice.

After changing the C9 capcitor, and no luck, I changed the Zener Diode & a resistor and everything is working fine.

Thankfully, shelling out only £1 for parts has done the job. Just as well, because I could have done without paying £85+ for a receiver right now.

I'll certainly seriously consider buying the Technomate if something terminal happens to my Humax.

Thanks again,
Steve
