Well, for a start I would recommend our forum sponsors. Many (all?) offer overseas delivery and that's where I would start.

COULD YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC PLEASE AND IS IT WORTH IT TO IMPORT A SAT DISH(triax ) OR LOCAL ONES WOULD DO IT?

Please stop using capital letters and large type in your posts, it is considered to be shouting. Any further posts like the above will be deleted.

Regarding your question, we have no idea what your local shops sell and at what prices, so cannot provide a comparison.

Hi, it’s one of the rules of netiquette (internet etiquette)....I made the same mistake some years ago too :)

Checkout the “Forum Rules - Please Read Before Posting” on this website, and the following link also gives a little information if you’d like to check it out

All the best, L

hello,
its good to know what is the bottom line and what are you trying to receive.
here are some amswers that i know others will have to be answered by others.
some satellites may not be received where you are.

1...a 1.8 meter offset usually works like a 2 meter prime.there are many types.
2...a prime focus will need a c120 lnb and feed horn an offset will not.
3....sky uk card must be mated up with the sky box id. so having the card will not work with any box unless it is mated up with a box id.
so first you need a sky box id, then you need the card mated with the box, then you can have like a dream box with the same id of the sky box and it will w
work no problem.the sky subscription will cost you more than what it costs in england.
4...unknown
5...unknown
6 what is this for iptv are you going to stream tv shows to others?remember you can do only one channel at a time so if you are watching a movie you are all watching the same movie.
7... there are many that offer most of what you need

here are some of the answers

I think you will find maximum dish size allowed in Egypt is 2.4 which will not be large enough to receive Astra 2D - i.e. no BBC or ITV channels

2-where to buy best quality feed horns to fit inverto flange c120 lnb ? ONLINE :)
Try our sponsors

3-can i get sky uk card without sky-box ? how much will it cost and where to get it online for a good price?:confused
The only way to obtain them without having access to a UK address is via online retailers or auction sites - In the UK they cost £25 but expect to pay more online.

4-will Dragon/T-rex CAMS work with sky or i will have to get sky crypt CAM?:)
Dragon and TRex CAMs no longer work with the latest Sky cards. Diablo CAMs work with all but the premium channels (i.e. not Movies or Sports). Some multicrypt card readers with the appropriate software work on all channels in some "hobby" receivers such as Openbox S9 and S10 and many Linux based receivers.

5-what is the best g-box and actuator to get?:confused

6-where can i get echostar viptv via hybrid IPTV "via satellite" ?:confused
No ideas

7-which is the biggest and most trusted online satellite equipment retailer?also with good prices to offer :)

THANKS
Again try our forum sponsors.

Well the try our sponsors didnt work perfectly because i couldnt find certain inverto lnbs and certain receivers also many other equipment specially some dishes
However they are good at cams ,cam programmers and blank cards

i wonder what is a hosted sky uk card for ~ 200 BP ?!!!

which is better humax icord hd+ 1TB or humax Foxsat HDR 2TB disregarding hard disk space?

Is it impossible to get echostar 15 in egypt elevation -10 below horizon :eek:

which cams work with sky? All channels

about the online shoping basicly i need a 2.4 M offset dish and inverto c120 ,NOTE:forget andrews they are $$$$$ ,if the c120 flange is useless with offset dishes please inform me

that 2.4M offset should do as a 3.4 M prime focus right?!

I need an online shop which has a bit cheaper prices and good service with cheaper shipping costs

Nope - theoretically its possible (after all thats just what astronomers do with their radio telescopes) but the cost of the engineering of the sub millimetric accuracy waveguides and stuff required would be prohibitive in a hobby setup.

Basically our Astra 2D is out of your range - you would need a huge dish, and would need no end of licences and paperwork in Egypt.

Being overtly demanding is not going to endear you to the other Members.

As Tivu says, this is all voluntary. Most people will not be able to answer every single one of your questions and you will put people off just answering a few if you are so demanding.

Please be patient.
