Replacing TM 5402 HD M3 C1

[dcwm]

This satellite receiver is showing signs of failure - in clicking through the satellite channels to select them for FAVOURITES the up/down buttons ceased to work and the box could only be turned off by pulling the power plug out and then re-entering it. We have two identical remotes one of which is brand new. I reckon this indicates some imminent failure of the entire receiver.

We receive about ten Russian and French language channels from Hotbird 13E via a fixed dish.

What do I replace the technomate with, please ?

Take a look at the Octagon SX87HD: https://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/satellite-and-terrestrial/digital-receivers/Octagon

Or there is the Technomate TM-5402HD M4: https://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/satellite-and-terrestrial/digital-receivers/technomate/technomate-tm-5402-m4 but the software and menu system are totally different to your current model.
