Title: back off holiday.. a few questions to be asked
Post by abr on Apr 5th, 2003, 7:57pm

Hi all
came off holiday on thursday.
WOW!!! whats been happening ?  1st april..mm ??? ???
(my birthday as well.).

i left my mm in my echostar which i had left on standby.
it was programmed with 1.10 4 all it is a mm vers 1.02.
tried to find out whether my mm would be ok if it had not been switched out of standby.
lucky for me i have tried it today (bit scared) and i have managed to put penta 1.05 on for the time being so quite lucky really.

before i went on holiday i bought a sammy.
now i'm back i have got to try to get it working????
so i will be asking the pro's a few questions. ;D ;D

iv'e got an easy one for crobin.57
chris
"how do you get that 1.2 channel master to move with the sammy m8"?????
i was thinking of buying a v-box but they don't seem to work well with the sammy.

arthur ;D ;D ;D

:hello:arthur did you enjoy your hols?(thats good)hope you took back good pressies for all your mates that you have addies for(steady he says) ;D ;D ;)

as far as the dish goes its best with the sammy to go and get the heavy duty HH120 stab DISEqC mount and you will need a special collar that fits the stab mount as the dish needs a 3 inch pole fittment.

will send you details by email (cheap prices)

all the best and welcome back some of us missed your black humor mate!

hi abr m8

glad that you have your mm  !

when it concerns v-box with sammy so i have to tell that thats the best combo .But some v-boxes has not +5v connection and if you have a 5 cored actuator its a problem unless you get a modified v-box.If your actuator is 4 cored  then go for it.Diseqc 1.2 h-h 120 is too slow and will wobble a lot after a couple of months.

regards

hi belmando1
do you have the v-box working with your system???
if so which v-box do you have .
there seems to be a few to choose from.
my dish at the moment seems to be set up quite well and may be i need not disturb it if i did use the v-box .
but i have read on other forums that it causes problems with the sammy???
the actuator that i have is 4 core.
arthur ;D

hi abr m8

the one that we use is MOTECH.Beside its not my system ,i have sammy with diseqc 1.2 rotor and a high quality Nokia 1.0 m dish.V- box systems are for customer who wants to keep their actuators ,our is modified so 5 cored can be used.And if your system is ok so dont make any change.Keep it as long as it lasts.
And you probably know what i think about rumours.If i listened to rumours i would not have Digix up and running today(thats a ucas that everybody said that it would crash with penta 1.11)


regards
