We’ve assembled nine systems in all from a luxury setup with everything ‘bar the cuddly toy’ to a budget sat system built with these money-minded times in mind.
Also, following last season’s dramatic developments, we look forward to the arrival of season five of Dexter on FX.
Also in this issue: Barry Fox ruminates on a report from the US which questions the medical research so far undertaken into the effects of 3D TV viewing in Inside View and France 24 tells us why it’s France’s most popular rolling news channel. .
On test: Heading up a mouthwatering test schedule this month is the Technomate TM-7100 HD-T2 Super (or Colin to its mates) which is what Andrew ‘deluded’ Stone from Pineapple Dance studios might term a ‘triple threat’ packing two HD sat and one DVB-T2 tuner for Freeview, a nifty caddy mounted hard disc arrangement, apps including YouTube and an option to upgrade it for analogue video capture.
We’ve also finally got our hands on Samsung’s SMT-S7800 twin tuner Freesat+ HD PVR with multimedia playback and find out if the latest 3D ready Panasonic TX-P42GT30 plasma with Freesat and Freeview HD tuners is its greatest yet. Also, TVonics' DTR-Z500HD Freeview+ HD PVR comes under scrutiny.
First impressions: We look forward to another Technomate triple , the TM-8000 HD Combi and preview the Elgato Tivizen mobile DTT streamer, One For All’s SV 930 indoor aerial, Toshiba’s VL series TV’s with nifty facial recognition technology and Samsung’s BD-D6900 Blu-ray/Freeview HD combi.
UKTV+: As well as dark US drama Dexter sticking the knife in to FX once more. Tony Robinson tells Wotsat about this two month’s spent travelling across Oz for Tony Robinson’s Australia on History. Also, Kate Winslet stars in acclaimed melodrama Mildred Pierce on Sky Atlantic.
Euro TV+: France 24 is the subject of this month’s Eutelsat Hot Bird TV Awards for 2010. Telstar 11N 37.5°W is the subject of Footprint and Satellite Search once more highlights the best feed spots of recent weeks. Launch Pad details Intelsat’s struggles getting New Dawn into orbit and as always you can keep track of what’in orbit already with our indispensable 20 page European frequency guide.
Tech Zone: Barry Fox asks calls for more research to be undertaken into the health effects of 3D TV in Inside View and Troubleshooter answers more of your burning tech questions.
What Satellite Pro: Karen Mcnulty of Buisness Umbrella Ltd offers tips on marketing your business, we highlight another worthy Super Installer and line up the latest TV wall mounts in Pro Kit.
Satellite XS: ‘People who want to support women can still like porn’ says Bobbi Starr our musically gifted adult starlet in Chat XS this month while Dave Taylor teases the launch of the Dolly Buster hardcore bouquet on Hot Bird.
