First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!! phew … it was a long break :)
Just came back from Bangkok not too long ago. During my stay i finally got chance to play with Satellite decoder and satellite dish. I am playing with a 90cm dish with Dreambox. If you were wondering how big is 90cm dish, Astro dish is just 60cm. So, 90 cm is not too big and not too small compare to 90cm dish.
The Dreambox model that i use is DM500-S, plan to connect Thai satellite. Along the way, facing some problems. Well, don’t expect a satellite noob can do much magic here.
Quick introduction on DM500-S, the Dreambox 500S is the smallest Linux satellite TV receiver, with 1 x Smartcard-Reader.
