Hi guys hope one of you Sat experts can help
I have had a Skybox F3 for years but to be honest never used it much because the EPG was just so rubbish.
It does power on the motorised mount but it never seemed to move the actual dish when doing a blind scan.
Its now gone up the khyber and i cant even see anything on it using Hyperterminal!
So I just bought a Zgemma H2S but unfortunately it wouldnt even light up the motorised dish.
Unfortunately when i was on the roof looking at the dish the box caused a feedback to my Plasma telly and has blown probably the zsus board but more likely the Mainboard through the HDMI port.
Dodgy box maybe so not only have i had to send this piece of crudd back but am now saddled with having to repair the telly.
It wouldnt detect the virgin line i already have or even find any satellites so i can only presume it was dud so i never got to see the epg or even a single channel.
I certainly wouldnt buy another Zgemma box now!
I actually only want it for Freesat and to connect to THOR and hopefully some Slovak transponders.
So my question is can anyone recommend a decent box with good EPG that can actually handle the extra power required to properly move a roof mounted satellite dish.
The dish is over 7 years old now and has rarely been used was bought in April 2011
From my Amazon order i can see it was
Cdtronix 80cm SATELLITE DISH + DISEQC 1.2 MOTOR + WALL MOUNT + 0.1db SINGLE LNB
Hope that is enough info.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!
