Need to help please Technomate 5402 and Intelsat 907

[Cocker]

I have just bought a new Technomate 5402 receiver and want to connect to Intelsat 907 to be able to watch Satback channels when out of the UK in Europe in my caravan which has a satellite system fitted. However, when I tune in the channels from Intelsat 907 all the UK channels are scrambled.

I think I need to upload patch software to the box to unlock these channels but can someone tell me which patch(es) I need to upload and anything else I need to do to be able to watch these channels.

Thanks in advance

Hi If the past is anything to go by then i suspect 907 will replace 901 at the same orbital position..then it will be a question of what areas the beam will cover...unless 907 is a new satellite and will operate alongside 901.... Regards

The "refueling" was successful.
