Hi I am in the process of purchasing new sat receivers for UK and NL HD TV. I am currently working in Northern Germany (Flensburg about 10 miles from Danish border). Both sat dishes need to be realigned to the new positions. I was browsing several app stores and came across several sat finder...

Thanks for the info. I am in Northern Germany and have been reading that the UK signal is not as strong here as in the past. We have been here last 4 years and always had a good signal. I am now finding that the BBC ! and 2 channels start to break up from around 1800hrs. I have an 80cm dish do...

Yes I do mean LNB with 2 outputs. You mention a Monoblock. I have Googled this and seems interesting. I may have mentioned we work in Northern Germany. My wife is Dutch (Canal digital NL receiver) I am from UK (Freesat receiver). We have 2 sat dishes one for each receiver. We are in a thatched...

Thanks for that. I have been looking at LNBs from Canal Digital in Holland as thats where the receiver is coming from. Is it the case that basicaly any make of twin LNB will do the job.

Thanks again. I had better explain our situation. We have at the moment 2 sat dishes .......1 for UK (freesat) HD 1 for NL and DE TV (non HD). Seperate receivers for both. Also a seperate DVD recorder/ player. This...

Thanks for the quick reply. I am using satellites. The reson I asked is that I have a Newish Philips Ambi Light with CI slot. On the rear of the TV there does not seem to be a conection to which the satellite dish cable could conect. At the moment this cable screws into a conection in the non HD...

HI this is probably a very stupid question! Does a CI module or CAM work with cable TV or satellite or both. Depending on the answer I may be back. Thanks

You are dazed and confused!

Thanks for the replies. The TV is conected to the recorder by a HDMI cable? From your comment I wonder if this is correct.

Hi Hope some one can help! I have 2 satellite dishes. Astra1 and Astra 2 for UK and Holland reception. The NL receiver works via a card that slots into the machine. The UK receiver is a Humax HD box. We can receive a good picture from both receivers. The NL box is not HD. We want to upgrade to...

OK thanks for that. I will get back to the forum when I have no picture!!!
