Star trak 400

[bevshadow]

Picked up an old Star Trek 400 receiver that has c band sats programed into it and was wondering if it still can be used for anything other than moving a bud.
On front of receiver it has Videociper RS videopal Order recorder. any info would be good Thanks.

It will still get analog channels, but they are dissappearing fast. Or that's what I have read anyway. I used to have a Star Trak 500 many years ago but now I'm just digital ku.

Do you know if i need a card in the slot in back to see anything, i don't have the card?

The card slot in the back is where the VC2 module plugs in. Don't need it unless you want to subscribe to the very few analog channels left. The Tee Comm receiver will receive all analog ITC channels as is.

Thanks guys for your help/info.

I think you might already have a VCII module in it. The one I had was a RS (stands for renewable security I believe) and had a slot for a removeable card (similar to the little dish cards) that was never required. But either way there is only a few VCII channels left that can be subscibed to, as tvropro has said.

Thank you SatPhreak, you are right the module is already in the machine with the card slot was hoping to use it to move a bud for fta as i need a larger dish , now, just need to find a bud been eying a couple.
