You can probably add additional LNB to the same dish as Hot Bird 13E to receive 9E. Suggest to consult with a professional satellite installer if this is possible. You can also post a new thread about how to receive both 13E and 9E on the same dish. | |||

Another option would be to install a motor to your dish. The Usals function on your system would then automatically swing your dish to where you need it to point. Rolfw has an excellent sticky tutorial about DIY installation of a motorised system, in the "dish setup" section of this forum, well worth a read. Your local satellite installer will have all the equipment and knowledge to do it for you, if you don't feel up to trying it yourself. | ||

Yes, I had a look at Lyngsat's footprint map, Israel is easily within the footprint of Eurobird 9e, with a standard sized dish. Incidentally, with a motorised system you could look at any satellite in the sky, subject to footprint of course. It's a good option as you don't need multi dishes, spaghetti coax or multi diseq switches. | ||

According to FlySat BBC Prime is now FTA. Can't confirm this until I am home. Looks like they are giving us a treat before they vanish sometimes this month (Moving to Eurobird 9E) | ||

As of 11th November 2009, BBC Prime on the S*y Italia package will change to BBC Entertainment. The channel sports a new-ish programme line up (I don't have full details yet), but will continue to include Eastenders. It would seem logical to speculate that the other BBC channels, BBC Knowledge, Food, Cbeebies etc, will shortly be launched as an "improvement" to the Prime package in Italy, in line with the Polsat and Scandinavian format. I will post again when I see the Entertainment new channel line up, and also if there is news of launch of the 4 channel format. S*y Italia broadcasts in videoguard encryption on Hotbird 13e. I note that there is an ad on our forum here from a supplier of S*y European viewing cards, including S*y Italia. Could be a viable alternative to S*y UK? | ||

My System: Dreambox 7020Si receiver, PLi image loaded and Irdeto and Viaccess cards installed. Dishes for Nilesat + Hotbird with lnb's for BADR and Eurobird 9 | The change of name makes a lot of sense. What did "BBC Prime" mean to the average foreign viewer? The new web site is _www.bbcentertainment.com. As a subscriber I have to say that all that has changed is the name........... The programme line up looks the same, except for a few seaonal changes that would be expected at this time of year. I would imagine that 9E will be receiveable in Israel. It is, only 300km north of there. | ||
