TM9100 What A Bargain!!

[xanadu]

best supplier is a certain dark man!

Denzel Washington

Did not know he sold Technomates.

Hollywood can't be paying him enough.

Anyone that can use Google can find at least 2 suppliers selling TM-9100 for £109

I was going to buy a new cam, but having looked at this receiver i may well invest in one, just a couple of questions.

Can i put a normal hardrive staright in to this box, and also what channels would be available just by patching the box.

Thanks

yes any hd up to 1 tg (terra gig) same as most other patched recievers that give all public emus,but its not realy a patch is a image on linux based products. It will also have the option of the extra bits that can come on the linux based machines if you connect them to the net

blooming heck this looks fantastic!

i do fancy one i must say, i have been toying with the idea of geting a dreambox latley but this is a fantastic box at a fantastic offer price.

just not very well supported at the moment so i think i shall wait for a few month to see what happens

[davet]

put my order in yesterday £109 for a new toy like that cant go wrong
got a dm7000 at moment but get lots signal dropout on some sats
I hope the sharp tuner will do a better job than the dm 7000 one

dm7000

lots of ice scrapers & cams

[quibath]

Yep, few days thinking and then one for me also coming...and also something else after saving money .....

[chelseaboy]

Ive ordered mine now just need to get rid of one of my other receivers now to make space.

Ive got an old technomate 5500 cip which i only really use to move my 36v motor and a humax hdci2000.

Will the 9100 operate a 36v motor?#

I think you would need a vbox m8 , as few receivers nowadays are compatible with a 36v motor

most are now diseqc

cheers mate, it looks like ill be getting rid of my humax then, can you just put any standard hardrive into the 9100?

chelseaboy

[echelon]

yes , any ata or pata standard ide hard drive , up to 1tb , and I believe the 5400 rpm ones are better as they are quieter

you cannot use sata drives

[chelseaboy]

thanks for the quick response its well apreciated mate.

[goodolddad]

It has rf in and rf out.

[echelon]

It has rf in and rf out.

thanks for that useful info , but it wasnt what I asked

some boxes that have rf in and rf out dont have an actual rf channel out

so basically I am asking if it has an rf channel out that you can change between 21 and 69 , like on the tm1500 or on the samsung 9500 etc

[goodolddad]

It has a uhf modulator that is preset at 36, you do have a menu in setup to alter it if you so desire.

[quibath]

can this box do BLIND SCANS?

No.
