[QUOTE="shumifan50, post: 667835, member: 265778"] nyrethym: The satellite you need to point at is 23.5 east(if it is really a Slovak card). This poses a problem in the UK (I notice that is where you are) as the signal from this satellite is VERY weak. This means you need at least a 90cm dish and the dish has to be alligned VERY accurately. Even then you might find that if there are a lot of clouds the picture might break up. You would be better off getting UPC from 19.2 east satellite, but the subscription for that is Czech (I think), not Slovak. It really depends on which UPC card you have. The 19.2 east satellite does not broadcast all the channels that you get on 23.5 east satellite: STV3 is not there as well as some other channels. As a mater of fact you are further north and further west than me, so the signal will be even weaker where you are. My girlfriend is Slovak, so I have been around this loop. Good luck with setting up your dish - that will be the difficult part and if you have not done this before, I strongly suggest you get a professional to install the dish for you. The better solution will be to try and get a subscription for 19.2E UPC as the 19.2E satellite signal is strong in the UK. As a side note: When the signal for a channel is weak, you will find that sometimes the dreambox will crash(your second picture) when you try to tune to the channel. This is a long standing problem on most Linux based STBs. The best dish setup for me is using a multi-bracket that allows me to point at 28.2, 23.5, 19.2 and 13 east satellites and using a diseqc switch between the four LNBs. This means that switching between satellites is instant - you dont have to wait for the motor to move the dish.
