I'll have to be reminded nearer the time!

lol

System · 22/03/05 - 23:07

just 2/3 weeks

Screenshots of the comag III are here

DrProzac · 23/03/05 - 13:17

So what channels can you get on the COMAG Reciever as it comes?

And how good is it for the money?

DrProzac · 23/03/05 - 13:22

And also on another post someone on here you mentioned about patching. What is this and what does it do. I gather it's some sort of Firmware update. How do you go about doing this. I take it it's by RS232?

Sorry for all the questions!!

[Deleted User] · 23/03/05 - 13:56

RS232 cable to load new s/w onto the receivers. You can load unofficial (patched) software onto them. However, discussion of what you can do with this s/w is forbidden by the t&c's of the DS membership......

DrProzac · 23/03/05 - 15:06

Oh right...

So is the COMAG III Worth getting, or should I get something else. I'm only really interested in playing about a bit. Not wanting to spen much money, and not interested in subscribing to any channels etc?

Or should I get a reciever when I can have the option of putting different cards into it in the future?

System · 23/03/05 - 15:19

you will get with 35cm dish what come with it:

http://www.digitalsat.co.uk/hispasat.html - 30w - 80%
http://www.digitalsat.co.uk/hotbird_13e.html - 13e - 65%
http://www.digitalsat.co.uk/astra1_19e.html - 19e - 85%
http://www.digitalsat.co.uk/turksat_42e.html - 42e - 70%
You will also get 28e but I dont know who would be intrested in that just full of shopping channels ect...

All FTA no cams or cards needed.

After you get it you will get into the hobby and unsubscribe from sky

DrProzac · 23/03/05 - 16:13

So how easy is it to tune get the dish facing the right direction.

I know along time ago I had an old Analog sat reciever and I moved the dish away from 19.2E and got another sat. But no idea what sat it was though.

How easy will it be to find the 30W etc?

You will never get Turksat with a 35cm dish or8 many of the hotbird channels.

[Deleted User] · 23/03/05 - 18:45

Oh no? - I got the stronger 42E transponders no problem on a zone 1 dish last summer. 90% of the Hottie channels were available too.

I was watching n-tv and dream tv for the dance the other night on 42e . And I get aload of hotbirds from MTV Polska to Italy

Remember the comag III camping set comes with a meter so theres no excuse to stay with sky when it will be dead easy to align with the meter. and a full sat system for £69!!! :eek:

DrProzac · 23/03/05 - 18:56

Its comes with a compass that attaches to the dish so aligning will be no issue at all when I got it two years ago I never touched a dish before and I picked up 19.2 and 13e within 5 minutes

Only 2-5?? I'll have no chance then!!!

What do you mean plenty later on in the year? And where do you get all this info from? Do you work for a Lidl distribution center then?

System · 23/03/05 - 20:03

Does anyone else sell these Camping Kits?

Or are they just to Lidl? (And Probably other Hypermarkets in France)

System · 23/03/05 - 20:21

only lidl maybe some satellite shops might but not many.

[Deleted User] · 24/03/05 - 23:17

I read on another forum about a Comag receiver that is powered by a 12v battery. Is that the receiver in the camping kit? Is it mains powered as well?

Where can I find out about the full range of Comag receivers and specifications e.t.c.?

Will the Comag FTA 2CI be sold with a dish, sat meter and all the extras?
