Celestion sr1 manual transfer station. We have 20 SR-1's in our hire stock and we've found them excellent for the samller stuff. For various reasons we sacked the 802 controller, but the EQ we had to program into the digital processor we were using to make them sound right was scary!
Hi guys, I just purchased the DSTV Explora decoder today and I already have the DSTV HD PVR decoder. Is it possible to do a self install at home? I have 2 cables coming into the home from the dish and both of them go into my splitter. One goes into the 13v port and the other into the 18v port. Then there are about 4 cables connected to an REC1,2,3,4 and then those cables go from the REC ports to my HD PVR decoder.
What I have tried was to connect the 13v port cable directly to the Explora 13v unicable port. And then just connected the RF output cable to the Explora.
But when turning on the Explora at the setup screen I keep getting a no signal detected error. Also I haven't inserted my smartcard from the HD PVR in the Explora yet. At the moment you have the following options: (1) Get in an accredited installer to do the job for you. ----- BUT you need to make sure they actually DO the job properly. (2) DIY- for this you will need lots of patience, and a simple Satfinder similar to those used by the camping/caravan fraternity (a) Replace the antenna --- For optimal reception of HD channels, the minimum antenna size is 85 - 90 cm. (b) The simple switch is not really available anymore.

If you can get one make sure it is version 5-2, NOT 5-1. (c) DSTV is starting to implement services on the new satellite, which ultimately will require hi-band reception.
This means the minimum LNB required is a Quad/Quattro LNB combined with a Explora switch. The replacement switch available is a 24-1Z switch which costs the same as a SLNB. (d) The new SLNB allows for 3 Explora decoders to be connected plus one legacy single view decoder. This is MCs recommended install. (e) Alternatively, you could use a Unicable/SATCR LNB but this will limit what you can do in the future. The components are available direct from MC, or Space-TV or Ellies.
Make sure whatever you get states that it is MC approved for use with an Explora decoder. Note MC no longer sell Explora decoders with switches or SLNBs -- you have to purchase these separately.
