TARBS Decoder - Help required

[billmarnie]

I have joined TARBS English package. The set top box was purchased by me, but they don't give you a Manual.

I want to be able to view Satellite FTA Channels when not watching TARBS.

The box is model MDS-3110, MDS Mentor Data Systems. designed in Taiwan manufactured in China.

I downloaded a PDF Manual from TARBS but it only gives very basic information about the box but no information on how to tune in signals etc.

I need the original instruction book that they should have given me as I purchased the box not rented it.

Can anyone tell me how to get a manual or the internet address for this Box.

I also need advice on whether I will have to reprogram tarbs channels after I have finished watching other satellite FTA.

Unfortunatly, what you have purchased, is JUST a tarb's receiver,
The encription is only used my Tarb's and no-one else, and your receiver will not except, any other programming, simply because it will only except MDS encription..

Also, Tarb's transmit on the Pas 8 satellite, and there is no other Ku frequances on that satellite, therefore you would need to repossition your dish,, There are some C-band services on Pas 8, but your LNB will not be suitable and the dish is to small.

Sorry, but your stuck with what you subscribe to..

Hey bassett

Do u consider TVBS not to be worth classifying as a Ku freq? :D :D :D

Bad Dog,,,

What would the people at Jade World say,, We did have that running , via a funny thing on a computer, In fact someone asked , how the hell we stuffed an EMU into a computer
But it updatted at a hell of a rate, so we forgot it..

But we do have the Taiwanese Mix running on 3836 V 22000 with a funny little box that holds an animel called a UCAS, what ever that is,, You feed it on keys once a month...;) ;) ;)
