  • hello,can anybody please tell me if the ferguson 153 will work ok on the United Kingdom cable channels and does the 153 have the mgcamd emu and can the ( lines ) be entered manually with the remote control,also i have spotted some firmware for the 153 on the forum does the firmware have the emulator,any help will be appreciated

  • According to the manual it does work with cable , you have to enable this by changing the LNB2 value to dvb-c in installation - antenna connection (it may be setup to dvb-t as default).
    When doing this though, you won't have access to terrestrial channels as the tuner cannot operate both systems together.
    As regarding mgcamd, you'll have to load a patched firmware to avail of this feature.
    Patched firmware can be got here (make sure you only select the relevant firmware for your model to avoid problems):
