Wink This Might help the dead card people

So your evil card died? Relax friend - you are free at last, your box is
not dead
go out and celebrate your new found freedom. Much for you to learn about
Satellite television. For some it's a hobby, not the programs per se, but
rather the 'techie' side of things, and so begins your road to recovery
program...

Remove existing 'Signal Setups' from your decoder box. Then add firstly:-

Optus-Aurora, - ABC SBS, WIN WA, Imparja, WLK and radio stuff. Add these
three frequencies to your decoders 'signal setup':

12407, Pol-V, sr 30000, 2/3 FEC.
12527, Pol-V, sr 30000, 3/4 FEC.
12720, Pol-V, sr 30000, 3/4 FEC.

You then search and rescan these as an FTA & CAS search. (FTA = Free to Air,
CAS=Encrypted). Get them loaded.

You then add this frequency into the Signal Setup:

12305Mhz, Pol-H, sr30000, 3/4 FEC. This is Austar FTA stuff, EXPO etc.

THEN continue to add into your Signal Setups, ALL remaining Fox frequencies
listed at the weblink directly below, get those symbol rates, polarisations
etc correct: each time on entering. Not absolutely necessary but 'safer' in
my view to do it this way.
http://www.lyngsat.com/optusc1.shtml

Then, do an 'FTA' search only on these, ensuring Network Search is on. This
will give you TVSN, one or two Fox FTA channels etc and so on. Place the
channels in logical order for yourself, delete or skip blank channels.

OPTIONAL: Sat TV has two bands, C and Ku, for Ku you could add a 'Moteck'
$110 - 150-00 (Dish rotator if you will), mostly ethnic stuff, but see the
Sats Optus B3, Optus B1, i701 and the great NSS6 too.

Click this link below for each respective satellites 'contents'. If your
the type who will miss 'Nightmooves', then you can now subscribe to one of 3
X rated International channels, two to date on Ku @ NSS6 thse are SexZ.tv
and FreeX TV. The third in on C band (these are big dishes-1.8 - 4.5metres
diam), Bluekiss. An Italian mob may well start an third ideally suited to
DTH (direct to home) for AUS/NZ. I predict an eventual additional 'niche'
(not adult and not that Impact mob) pay service on Ku.....

http://www.lyngsat.com/asia.shtml

C band is good, some English content and movies, BBC World, USA's Worldnet,
CCTV 9 China,-good excellent fulltime English and Australia's own ABC Asia
Pacific etc and so on.

If you are NOT Australian sports mad, on Pas 8 Ku, TARBS Australia has an
'English Package' comprising Movie One, Movie Extra and Movie Greats, TCM, a
music channel, ESPN etc, Disney soon. Their decoders will do satellite FTA
as well (add a dedicated C and Ku solid 1.8 to Pas 8 to get BBC etc). They
charge $39.95/month for these IF you buy their decoder @ $249-00, a little
more by the month if you rent it instead.

Though TARBS's English Package does not have Foxes $68 basic BS Digital
package in numerical quantity, it does have the movie 'quality' which you'd
need to pay more with Fox to get. I reckon it's good value if one feels the
overwhelming desire to throw around money.

If your French mad, LBF at Penrith have numerous French services. At this
point LBF's XXL (X rated hottie) is not available for Aussie subscription.
http://www.lbf.com.au
http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/canalsatnc.shtml
http://www.lyngsat.com/i701.shtml

I happily watch everything but Fox. Should you add that rotator for the Ku
services, Globecast Australia have a few channels too:

Basically soon my foxtel bas sub runs out so i to will have a spare decoder.

Will the UEC 700 prove sufficient to scan the globes?

I understand i would have ot get a bigger dish?

Even though i would be scanning free to air channels. Don't i need some sort of smartcard in the decoder?

My goldie died and its got the Austar Base CoCo on it not the other one where it showed all available services, i.e Test1 test2 foxtel nsw qld wa austar etc.. Is this what i need to view free2air?

Unfortunately the Fox box is pretty much useless for anything other than fox.
With all the "upgrades" the UECs have copped getting them to tune into other services is difficult.
