Ok thanks for your quick reply, I hope maybe someone else out there has the same model and can reply with some answers.
Yes it's true emtech which is now taken over by Homecast and they use the emtech boards, there are also many other clones of emtech receivers such as Astra,Atlantic,Echosat,Fortec star FTA 5000,Globalsat,Homecast Of course as well as a few more including Starsat models. They use many of the emtech boards in several models, many even look just like the emtech models except the name change of course.
Unfortunatly only a few models like the emtech 200CI and a couple more appeared in local stores here. I did like the em100 before the messing around with it on my part. Updating info was complicated at first and using the info in the book how to upgrade a satellite list through the receivers method didn't seem to work for me ,however I was able to update the sat list another way.
Sorry,you wern't able to help me out if I had of come along a year or 2 or so earlier I may have got some info from you.
Thanks again and I hope someone out there see this and can reply with the necessary information.
