I don't know the spiderboxes, but as I've read they were similiar to the MVision.
Theres is also a Mvision HD-300 (NET and COMBONET). Difference with the 270 is that is has 2 CI-slots (but only 1 smart card slot).

Re: Ideas on New Receiver?

Re: Ideas on New Receiver?

I think that the best decoder is dm7020hd

Re: Ideas on New Receiver?

hi

Does anyone knows - in great lines - the difference between eg the dm7020hd and others (like the mvision 270)? Did read a lot, but perhaps there's a comparison somewhere?

i quite like the idea of a fixed dish on one tuner and a moterized dish on the other if that is possible with a dual tuner ,as i have a large fixed dish for sly and a moterized for rest of europe

You can just use a DiSEQc switch with a single tuner for both dishes? I dont know a lot but I thought it would work.

a motorized dish gets me more sats ,i have a 4 way diseqc set up as well ,and now i'm about to do another set up on a 8 way diseqc . i like to experiment

Re: Ideas on New Receiver?

hi

thanks, please keep us informed ; have 4 sats now, but I'm questioning whether to take 8 (or even 16) sats or a motorised dish (for later, still in discussion with the mrs).

My explaination to your other query was that instead of dual tuner you can use a Diseqc for both the dishes on a single tuner. Lets say,
Diseqc 1.0 Port 1 fixed dish
Diseqc 1.0 Port 2 Motorised dish (Diseq M1 Cascade is active)
It will work

so what your saying is i can drive the motor through a diseqc switch

Re: Ideas on New Receiver?

why bother with a diseqc switch when a motor will do the job, no need for multiple switches etc, unless like rick o says likes to experiment, good for him.

hi nml there are a lot of posts on differant boxes i was wondering if you are any nearer to making your mind up on wich box you fancy.

Yes, It will work perfectly if you want to keep your fixed dishes and also your motorised dish then instead of using a dual tuner just use a single tuner with a Diseqc switch. But as Toby suggested no need for the fixed dishes when you have a motorised dish unless you have signal problem on some satellites and want to keep fixed dishes for them.
