Manhattan Plaza 450 PVR 200 Gb 36V motorised blind search receiver

April 05 "What Satellite" magazine "Best Premium Satellite Receiver" award.
Feb. 06. What Satellite Gold Award - 90% "Blind search faster & smarter than ever"





2CI receiver with massive hard drive.

The Satellite Superstore offers this excellent receiver with our own specially selected 200Gb
hard drive for massive recording capacity.
The special 200 Gb AV hard drive features,
Specially selected cool running AV model.
The embedded hard drive is not a computer drive and cannot be bought from computer stores
or on-line computer suppliers. It is an AV drive developed for digital AV recording
applications. These drives are normally only supplied to the big manufacturers of
DVD writers, digital VCRs, satellite receiver PVRs, security digital time shift recorders etc.
These drives have been specially designed for AV use offering cool running high video
recording performance and as such tend to be a little more expensive than computer
"data recording" hard drives. The problem with normal computer (data) drives is that
they can pixillate or produce freezing while playback, or fail completely
resulting in valuable recordings are lost! or produce too much heat.
These excellent AV drives are inside all of our Manhattan 450 PVRs that we sell and as
such are thoroughly tried and tested and sold in large numbers without any problems at all.
This PVR receiver is a remarkably low price package.
considering it is packed full of the very best of features and hardware.
This package is exclusive to the Satellite Superstore.
Best blind search available!
These excellent blind search receivers are able to scan low symbol rates
Features include,
Latest software increases channel locations from 5000 to 8000.
Fantastic FAST blind search capability.
Already the feedhunter groups are absolutely delighted with the new software. The on-line message boards
and enthusiast groups already rated the Manhattan plaza blind search as the best available and now
it is even better. When scanning, not only is the search not missing anything but it is also going
down to even lower symbol rates. No blind search from any manufacturer is as thorough.
No blind search from any manufacturer is both thorough and fast.
Due to very large bulk buying we have achieved a very low price for this remarkable product.

High quality 3m push on F connector lead

From Lacuna for the Lacuna meters but
could also be used on the Digisats etc.

If you use a meter frequently, using a normal screw on F Connector
lead is slow and creates wear on the meter's socket.
This lead pushes onto the meter and pushes onto the LNB for quick efficient use.
Ideal for installer. Also at 3 meters long and "push on" at the LNB, offers great flexiblity
and easy of use when you are up a ladder reaching for a dish.
Delivery is free is ordered with a meter.

More Information on the US Lacuna Meter.
Question.

I am interested in this meter in the US. I understand it will identify
Direct TV 101 and 119 as well as Directway and Dish Network satellites.
Will it identify other satellites such as Telestar 5 and Galaxy 7 and others?

Answer.

There are some satellites confirmed like 101 and 119
Others in the last are not
That means some satellites we have had an engineer in the states and
found the satellites with the meter
We have an engineer in Texas at the moment. Due back in about 10 days
We will then upgrade the software and more satellites will be confirmed
Everything in the meter can be altered by you using the pc edit lead or software
Also we will soon have a service where you can send in the current file and have
it upgraded and e-mailed back when improvements go in
