Welcome!
Have a read in the newbie section and it should give you an idea of what you can receive. Come back and ask more questions if you are unsure of something. If you have a dish then a receiver is all you need and it will cost you approx $100 for something decent.
Happy reading....Leroy
Thanks leroy
From what i read a humax sounds ok
a humax is not a bad start because depending on how far you go with the 'hobby' they can be very handy in other situations other than just using as a STB for viewingOriginally Posted by caveman
Have a read in the Technical and Development section.
I have found my Strong a great box for getting a handle on everything from aligning a dish, blind scanning/scanning in channels, setting up more than 1 dish etc..... and you could get a Select tv subscription to start with!

Hi back again I Have checked dish it apears to be pointing @ c1 got myself a humax box and Aurora card and got as far as antenna setup in menu set lnb to 10700 the rest of settings have got me all confussed any help would be a help
Thanks Caveman
Got a model number there caveman?
Ir-ace m is the only thing that looks like a model # on front of the box
Trust you'll find a lot of information on your box here
thanks I'll have a poke around there
have you checked that you have a 10700 lnb?
Leroy
Yes borrowed it from Austar dish and will return it eventually
I can't remember the dish setup settings in a humax but lnb setting is one and lnb power should be on and set to single, no diseqc, no 22khz switch.
Have a look on Lyngsat for the Aurora TP to scan in and have the network scan on setting. This will scan the entire aurora bouquet.
See how you go.

Thanks guys c1 is working fine with Aurora.I think I'm slowly getting the hang of this i dare say as i play with this I'll have some more q's
8' dish sounds C band.
Is it solid or mesh?
What are your signal levels like with a Ku lnb?
Just what the boys in QLD needed with the heavy rain.lol
signal levels are now non existent as dish took to flying last night.Opps
I had a play with it yesterday and left my son to tighten up bolts(Big mistake)
anyway i need a couple of mates to help me get it back on.
Yes Godzilla its a solid dish
Solid=kick arse signal.
Looks like you were unlucky, most dishes just spin around in the wind when the bolts are loose.
Hope you havnt warped it.
looks slightly out of shape will this matter much
Oh yeah.....a whole lot.
Its suppose to be perfect, it may not reflect straight bach to the lnb now.
Place a string across from edge to edge on the rim of the dish.
Then place another across at 90 degrees to the first.
They should touch.
If they dont things dont look good.
Thanks I'll give that a try
