trying to find out if this setup is ok.

[aman]

hi all

I am wondering if some one has experienced or knows about this reciever below, I am getting a person I know to install me a 1m motorised dish with GLOBALSTAR 7100i USB. this is to be used mainly for the hotbirds, astras and possibly nilesat for the ART and albchannels for the premiership football. Personally i have only had echostar recievers in the past (including a 7700 and a 3000ipva) the 3000ipva is now happily living at my dads house with a 1.2m channel master, and he is getting all the channels I am seeking.

my questions really are:
is this reciever good? Globalstar7100iusb, as I never heard of it, and infact cannot find thier website on the net, which is not a good star, however, my friend says that the reciever is excellent and that I will have no problems with it.

What LNB is the best at the moment? the last LNB I used on dads system was a syntec2000 0.3db.

Anyhelp would be appreciated.

We supply that box, it is a very capable box with PVR ready operating system and DiSECq motorised engine inside it. You will be able to record from it to a memory stick and watch on your PC or save it elsewhere...
Just check out this product page for your self:

Any universal LNB will do, but the best one is; Single LNB HD 0.1dB

Thanks for your reply, I do have one more question if thats ok!

I notice that it has a multicrypt cam, and was wondering if I could add a 2nd or a 3rd cam to this reciever?
Also as I have not heard much about this company, i tried to locate them online with no avail, can you help?


Many thanks

No, you can't add more CAMs to this particular box -you will need a box with 2 CAM slots like topfield boxes
This box will only take 1 card at a time
which company are you trying to locate online -

Thanks for the reply , I was trying to find the website of the manufacturer of globalstar recievers. do you know it?

another Question please: if for e.g. viaccess is updated from version X.X to a higher version, would i be able to update the cam?

many thanks.

the Globalstar is compatible with current viaccess and when updates are required we will supply you the firmware update.
There is no online manufacturer site for globastar
