hi m8, you dont say what model it is, if it's a starlight model,they suffered with bootloader problems the one i had failed and i had it repaired twice
and then got rid, iv'e now got the st550 model that is a good receiver.

hi m8,
it's while back i think it was about £50 or so give manhattan a e-mail at www.technical@eurosat.com
my own view is if the cost is high,for a few pounds more get a
technomate 1500ci and there's loads of support for these with
patches and updates. so no need for any cards or cams to get
the channels open. there is very little support for manhattans
patches are few and far between for the st550 and non-existent
for the starlight. this is there address.

hi dave,
that price has gone through the roof, it's better to go for anouther receiver
there is'nt much support for the manhattans now, it's a shame they are
good receiver.
