Been a long time since I played with satellite...We are talking D2mac, then onto Sammy DSR-9500. Used to edit write cards / cams, etc, and was quite happy loading firmware to the 9500..
We moved house a few years ago and I had a moment of weakness......$ky tv came into my life.
I want to get back into the fiddling and tinkering scene, but since I last tried, an awful lot has happened in the sat world.
What is a good receiver to play with, and the best sats to use an 80cm on (wife not the council putting limits on).
Some say go with a Linux based machine, others say don't..Some say this sat, others say channels last a day on there...you need this sat.
I know from previous experience that cams can last a week / year before you need to buy a new one...Keys last the same, etc. I just need a foot in the first rung to get me started really.
Thanks for reading this middle aged attempt at coolness (lol).
