Hopefully these should help.
Heiner,
Thanks for the information so far, looking at the video that is exactly the same receiver that I can buy.
I'm still playing around with the photos at the moment as they are too big to be uploaded onto the forum.

I have the opportunity to buy a Dartcom Satellite receiver, 136-138 Mhz for weather satellites. There isn't anything on it to identify which model it might be. Knowing a bit about its provenance I know it is an older model but it is in very good condition.
The problem I have is I don't know how to connect it to my computer, there is a DIN socket on the back which is where all the connections will feed into, I've been told that there are two connections for a tape recorder and one for the computer.
Does anyone know what the wiring diagram is for the DIN plug and as I don't have a tape recorder anymore can it be connected to a digital recorder or is it really necessary and could I just dispense with this. I assume that the end of the connections are audio plugs to connect to the computer etc.
Also which is the recommended software for displaying the images/maps.

Hi,
I've just joined today, just starting to try and have a go at operating through satellites and hopefully receive weather satellites.
