    I don't have the super, just the 6900HD but it works fine with diablo, run's cool enough to touch when you remove it, way cooler than on my old Echostar AD3000. Diseqc motor will be fine, and I understand the super series units do RF loopthrough, but can't confirm.

    I'm very happy with mine, great HD pictures on my 37" LCD Sammy

    :cheers2:

    By all accounts the super is supposed to be the bees knees. I have not got one myself but am going to get one very soon hopefully.

    Its absolutely BRILLIANT M8 - take it from me - the RF loopthrough is great for piping it thru into the bedroom, instead of the dreaded sender device - and the USB at back AND front just finishes it all off!:respect-055::bravo-009::respect-040:
    Oh yes, the main difference is the Terrestrial aspect on TM6900HD Super!

    Yup - i am very satisfied with mine[6900 super] and the service from TM was great. Fixed an HDD into back usb - piece of P***. Plug and play almost - no probs. Will do very nicely till i can return to the Dreambox fold once the 8000 price drops!!!! Brain

    thanks for all the replies.looks like i will be buying a tm6800 hd super
    i dont need freeview built in as my tv has that built in,ive checked the sponsors site and they dont supply the technomate,so after looking around on the the net best ive seen price wise is £269.95(has to be black) to match my tv hd dvd recorder and glass stand.one last question
    will i be able to view the hd channels on 28e with the tm6800,such as bbc and such like or is that only possible with a freesat box

    once again thanks for all the great help
