Hi everyone
Now I have a bit more time on my hands I am getting back into the satellite hobby. I have been away for a few years away and I see things have changed a great deal on the reciever side of things.
I still have my modified SCT highway 1.2m dish and a Technomate 5500 DAPCI which had not been switched on for a while due to the dish being pointed at the sly sattelites.
It needs a new actuator as the old Jeager motor has rusted and seized solid.
I was looking to get into the Linux receivers maybe an AZbox or similar. However I am struggling to find a place to start the steep learning curve again and a lot of the thread titles are speaking alien.
Is there an idiots guide or should I just buy a book on learning Linux. I was quite proficient in msdos and Basic as a youngster so hopefully I can get a handle on the syntax etc.
Any advice anyone could give on Linux or the best box to purchase would be very welcome.
thanks very much for your time.
regards
Daz
