Intel sat box

[Edenside]

Can anyone let me know where I can purchase a satellite receiver box for Intel sat. I have a satellite system with screw and previously had an Icecrypt box which is now faulty and I need a replacement but I believe the company went out of business.

Put a wanted thread on here as there may be some kicking about as Funsters swap over to data streaming rather than satellite.

i thought intelsat was a satellite in the sky not a satellite system on your van. do you have photos of what you have or need?

lots of receivers on ebay should be able to pick up intel sat - though i understand it has just been moved?

Most "generic" boxes will pick up signals from all satellites.
But if you want one specifically for Intelsat 901 (that replace I907 earlier this month) at 27.5w to hack into the not for public siganls for the 10 uk tv channels used for Freeview transmitter backup, then you need very specific receivers that are able to handle the non standard symbol rate, and allow you to "patch" the receiver with custom firmware, and enter the BISS code. Icecrypt were the ones, until the went bust and stopped producing them. Some people use a GI box (no idea what model through), but I used to use a version of the technomate 5402 m3

This 230volt box will do what you want. <Broken link removed>
Its a bit long in the tooth now though. No support for a about three years. Last Phantom patch 146 dated 1/11/2016.

I brought a couple of boxes (don’t ask?)off these people both have worked fine:

Caravan Satellite Receiver with Easyfind for UK Channels Throughout Europe | Satgear

View English speaking satellite channels with this receiver throughout Europe accessing the Pan Europe Astra 2 satellite beam. This receiver also has the Easyfind system built in.

www.satgear.co.uk

 

[Squirepete]

I don't think this can open Intelsat 901. The UK channels referred to are Europe Beam on Astra2.
See post #5

 

[Edenside]

Now sorted. Thanks everyone.

Would you care to share your solution for the benefit of other Funsters?

Hi Guys First post so sorry if I get it wrong! Re: Sat receiver for Intelsat 901. I have bought but not received yet a Comag HD45 box at a cost of £89 plus post, setup with all biss keys for Intelsat 901. I have also found and bought the same box from www.comag.de for 27 euros plus post BUT not with the Biss Keys installed. Anyone have any info where I can download the "patch" for this box to be able to insert Biss key? My only other option is to hope I can transfer the software from one box to the other?

 

[Satandpcguy]

You will probably have to look on a specialize satellite receiver forum / site ( sat-universe.com) for example for patches.

 

[Spanishfly]

Thanks for the info' will give it a try. I think this box is also sold under different badges so maybe have to open it up to look at mother board? - Stay safe!

afternoon all I have a Icecypt box, the only problem is it will not work with my Oyster twin LMB, the oyster controller has two coax fittings and works fine.
the idea of having the icecypt box was for when I'm down at the middle or bottom of Spain so I can pick up Intelsat 901, anyone have any idea of the best way forward please.
Regards Ray

Icecrypt were the ones, until the went bust and stopped producing them.

They didn't go bust, they were a small family company and they retired.

Is your Oyster a Vision 2 or 3 model ? If it the earlier Vision 2 you won't have Intelsat 901 on it memory and I believe the only way is to manually align the dish to 901 by asking it to find Hispasat @30W which is very close to 901@27.5 W .
If its a vision 3 model or the later Oyster V and Intelsat 901 isn't already on the list of satellite's all ready preinstalled it can be added
Pretty sure your dish needs to have the autoskew option as well

 

[Hydrocell]

As I purchased it second hand I’m not sure of the version it is but it has the autoskew option.
many thanks for your replay

if you speak to Oyster UK they are pretty helpful and if you have the serial number of the unit they will be able to tell you more

I Neil have the 80cm Oyster HDTV system and the controller and receiver are all in one Listed as 2013 and on
