Hi all
Can anyone confirm, is there any way to get the French (TPS) channels anymore on the Technomate 5300D box? Have they moved to Astra and is there a patch, or likely to ever be a patch to support it?

From the research I have done, it seems only the Echolink boxes with Abracadabra Card is the only answer, so does that mean I have to ditch my Technomate box?

I'd appreciate any views and help

Thanks

Well, if the Abracadabra card is the only answer with the Echolink boxes, its goodbye Technomate i'm afraid. TPS was the main reason to get the system in the first place so its needs must...

Thanks for the reply
