Re: Tell us about your sat receiver and send us a photography

Just out of curiosity, can the pci card work the same way as a receiver? I mean, I'm saving up for another receiver but if going to get a pci card instead, will I be able to key in cccam just like with receivers? Pls pardon my ignorance...thanks

Re: Tell us about your sat receiver and send us a photography

here are my babes

the first receiver was a next receiver but i dont remember the name. after the next receiver i bought the best receiver of all time:


humax 5400



then after years i decided to buy an hd box with linux base. my choice was

kathrein ufs 910



then after years of watching tv via sat i wanted to test a dreambox. my choice was this

dreambox 800se



right now i am using all three of them but my all time favourite is the humax 5400
=> the one and only <=

Re: Tell us about your sat receiver and send us a photography

I started with a Starview box for cable TV before I got into satellite.

Then I bought an old $ky box and caught the satellite bug. Got a few different FTA receivers, installed dishes for myself and friends, checking out what was available free from other countries.

After more research I wanted to see what the subscription channels had to offer, so I bought a Spiderbox SD and soon realized it's limitations so upgraded to the 9000HD.

Like Toby I have been doing lots of reading to bring my knowledge up to speed so I can help others.

Rather like Toby69, I started with an analogue receiver (from Lidl), graduated to a Technomate 5000, then to a Technomate 1500. My present setup is a Spiderbox 9000 and a Humax Foxsat HDR. This arrangement suits me fine and I have no aspiration to anything else - at present!

it is a DVB-S, DVB-T or a DVB-C?

SkyStar HD2 is for DVB-S and DVB-S2 only.
