Camos + Black Box Receiver set-up
Successfully had my Camos dome installed today together with the Blackbox receiver. Gary (central-leisure-services) who installed it all for me did a brilliant and neat job but only had experience with the Pace box set-up. Although satellite locked okay couldnt really find an easy set-up option.
Before I give up and buy a Pace 1000 if anyone has experience with the Camos box i would appreciate any help. I have an english translation of the german manual but it isn't very user friendly

Is the Camos black box just the widget which locks on to a given satellite, as opposed to being able to receive and present the satellite broadcast?
Do you not require some kind of digital receiver - either generic free to air receiver, Sky receiver, or FreeSat type box?

ah, I was thinking of the box, which is black, and came with my Camos installation which shows which satellite it has acquired - as opposed to the product link above...
Hi
The box is the one which controls the dome and has the flashing lights on the front.
You should have a cable comming out of the box to which you connect a sky / FTA sat box, this will give you a picture when conected to a TV. Id recommend that you go for a 12v FTA box as the dome is also 12v and will allow you to watch TV when not on EHU.
We also have a Sky box fitted which means we can use the Sky card from home in it and get more channels when on 240v. If we go away for more than a weekend we take the box from home as we then get all the Sky channels. We also have a switch box for the 2 boxes to allow us to change between them easily.

I already have a sat box - the Camos Black Box, which is a receiver (see link above)! I just want someone who has the same to help me out.Bubblehead said:Hi

Black Box
The Black Box is the Brand name of the 12 Free To Air receiver supplied by Camos. It has a remote eye and can be hidden away. Programming is straight forward just mark astra 2 and eurobird then search.

Re: Black Box
Liam - many thanks. I presume I 'mark' the 2 sats in the set-up menu?Liam said:The Black Box is the Brand name of the 12 Free To Air receiver supplied by Camos. It has a remote eye and can be hidden away. Programming is straight forward just mark astra 2 and eurobird then search.

No worries Andy. I think i just need a bit of 'me' time to play with the thing and see what it can do. I found it frustrating that it didn't look 'easy' but it's definitely me!Bubblehead said:Sorry, missunderstood your post
