I have recently completed what you are trying to achieve after starting as a complete 'know nothing' in the satellite world. About 3 years ago we got the details of a local installer out of the yellow pages and mentioned we wanted to access greek channels. He set the dish and box to receive all channels from hotbird, however we didn't realise until the equipment was installed that most are scrambled so our equipment has laid doing not much for 3 years. My mother-in-law is visiting for a few months so we decided to take this opportunity to purchase a subscription to NOVA. The card came on Saturday and works perfectly - the card was on order for a month.
We did need to buy a CAM though so make sure you buy a box that can accomdate a NOVA card without a CAM to save on the additional expense. We bought the card from a dealer in the UK but as mentioned above it is alot cheaper to buy the card in Greece but as a complete novice I was concerned that we have help here in case it did not work. Next time we will definetly buy through family in Greece, but I am led to believe that you should not inform NOVA you will be using the card abroad as they will not provide it to you - i.e. give a Greek billing address.
Cannot really comment on quality as not had Sky.
Good luck |
