Thanks for the reply, it was good just to see all the info for another card
and compare it.

For the others on the list:

Is it likely my problem is actually my LNB? That it worked just enough with
my SkyStar2, but not my Technotrend?

Is there any way I could test this without buying another LNB?

If I buy another LNB, should I go for a 'strong dual 10.75 like at

Any advice would be most apprecated.

Cheers,
Stuart.
