    I'm sure some people still use the Spiderbox 6000 but you'll find a lot of Spiderbox owners moved over to using the HitechBox.

    I still use a spider 6000, it comes with MSCAM these days not 1k$, the spider 6k is a much more robust receiver and works much better with 1k$ if you can get a key these days, lots of places have switched away from satellite key sharing in favour of internet streaming which isn't tied to dishes and works anywhere you have wifi.

    The Hitech box is brilliant for streaming but a bit flakey on the satellite side.

    They come with no Mscam or IKS since the price has been reduced

    I use a stand alone positioner which runs on 36v for my motorised bits and a diseq 4 way switch for 3 separate small fixed dishes, the receiver controls the diseq switch for the first 3 ports and my motor is on port 4 which has to be moved on another remote.

    4 separate lnbs on 2 dishes - 13E/16E on one and 39E/26E on other via 4 way diseqc (I'm not in UK)..apart from a recent glitch (now fixed) works well. I don't know about what's openable on others sats but would be interested in what's available at 19E?

    39e dont work with mscam but does with1k$, bits on 28e still work with both, some bits on 23e worked the other night but I havn't checked that out yet, 19e was pretty solid with iks but prone to cut outs and freezing with mscam but usually recovers after a while, maybe the match is over by then.

    13e on polish channels is sort of ok with both with the occasional interupts, 16e has a bit that works with both fairly good at the mo, 1w has a fair few bits that are still ok but with channel frequency changes giving probs, 30w is good at the mo with both for sport, not many docco's or films though.

    Hi...Who told you that they come with no Mscam..I bought 5 last week in London ..all with Mscam . IKS not sure if they still are available for renewals. There are also other options to use which are better than IKS or Mscam in my opinion.

    Regards

    Hi The SB6000 in my opinion one of the best receivers ever made.. Even today with a motor and IPTV capabilities is a fantastic box.....easy to setup and very user friendly....Regards

    The 6000 is a bit like the Win XP version of windows, if you cant better it make it obsolete otherwise there's no dosh to be made. CRT tv's used to last 30 years, manufactures used to be proud of the longevity of there products, now they see it as a loss of profitability, 12 months with Chinese crap and your done.

    Constant change makes more dosh, if you bought a pair of shoes that were fine one week but didn't wear the next week you wouldn’t buy them any more, peeps these days are suckers !

    I bought 2 6000HD's years back until i switch to vu+ but my sister still use the 6000HD although just for the freeview... She has recently lost most of the channels due to TP updates. does any one wish to post a new channel list as the tool on here for generating channel list does not work anymore? Thanks
