Will it work in Greece

[mike pilbeam]

I have a house in Greece (Crete) and wondered if any of the three old sat boxes i have will work there.
I am a "COMPLETE NOVICE" so any "techyanswers" will be completley unintelligable to me.
The old boxes I have are:-
Salora 5902
Nokia Sat 1700 mk2
Panasonic TU DSB 30

What satellite would I use?
Any helpful comments welcomed.

Not familiar with your receivers, but you can point a reasonable size dish of 1m-1.2m to Hot Bird 13E or even smaller for Amos 4W and Nilesat 7W.
There are other satellites, but these are the ones to start with.
If they are all FTA, then you might need another one with CI slot and Irdeto support for a Nova Greece subscription or any other legitamite subscription in Viaccess, Seca, Nagravision, etc.

One more thing, you might be better off buying a new receiver in the UK and bring it over. The old receivers might have a limit on the number of channels that can be stored in memory.
