humax5400 & USAL

[red alert]

Hi all

Its been sometime since i last posted here. I was wondering does the hummy5400 work with USALS motors? Ive purchased one and im not sure how the hummy will be compatible with it.

cheers

red alert, the 5400 doesn't support Usals, since as far as I know Usals came out after the 5400 was already in the market.

What I did in my case was borrow from a friend a Kaon that supports Usals, then I used it to "fix" the various satellite positions for my motor. After setting, say Hotbird, I switched the antenna cable to the Humax to memorize the position on the Humax, then on to the next satellite and so on. It's kind of a pain in the ass, but you have to do it only the first time.

That and not having "blind searches" for feeds are the only drawbacks I find on the 5400, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else, including dreamboxes and similar sets.

I hope I have answered your question.

Best regards

Hi Caribe

Thanx for the reply m8. I was thinking the same, i will do that unless i get a USALS reciever. But the hummy 5400 is too good never got any probs with it and have it for like 5 years now. Ill just stick too the hummy5400 for now.

cheers
