Astra 3A requires a 120cm for reliable reception. Astra 1E, only a 60cm.

Hi,

I would have thought you'd be able to get the channels from Astra 1E on the Sky dish, depends what you mean by 'old', is it a minidish?

Find 28E first (BBC ITV etc), then gently swivel the dish west a bit, and up a touch, and you should be able to pick them up.

You are outside the footprint for Astra 3a, so a larger dish will be needed.

EDIT, just seen your other post.

Just because you are a little off the footprint, does not mean you can't receive it, you just need a bigger dish than normal, to give more gain.

Who knows, a 1.2m might do it, but someone who lives in your area would be able to advise.

(I get it easily on my 1m here)

d30 · 09-12-2008

hi Robbo yes it is minidish.
What you recommend ??? What size of dish will deff make it ???
Please can you give me as much information as you can ... i really dont know much about it .Thank you

**satelliteman** · 09-12-2008

120cm for Astra3 will cope with rain fade.
Astra1E fine with a 60cm

Your answer

d30 · 10-12-2008

First you must find a cheap CSlink card and then worry about the dish and receiver.
I have seen at at 512 pounds which is far more than your budget for the whole system.
Do your search yourself. Germany and Italy are cheaper than the UK.
Have you tried to buy the card from Czechoslovakia
Do you have friends or family there who can help you?

d30 · 10-12-2008

HB13DISH hi m8 ...i already have that card . it is not so expensive yet i bought it for around £70....so really my budget is just for sattelite set ......but becouse i really dont know that much about it im waiting for any advice .....i did check many websites but you know there is lots of these thinks and im confused

**rolfw** · 10-12-2008

I'm sure the poster has friends and family in Czech, so the card shouldn't be a problem, perhaps if they get the receiver from there with the card, then only the dish needs to be bought and perhaps a local installer to mount and align it.

d30 · 10-12-2008

rolfw yes i do have a card but not receiver ..so recap i live in Devizes i was told yesterday that i will need 120 dish and it should work but i do not know nothing about receivers and about sattelites.I was try to find some sattelite set (something like all in one ) but i did not find anything.....i can buy it separately, but i really need to know what exactly. I dont wanna get myselft to point where i spent £300 and still wil be need something . Please guys it will be really very kind of you if you give me any idea... Thank you

This is theCzech Link package list:

_http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/skylink.html

Most of the channels are on Astra 1E which is an exceptionally easy catch on small dishes.

The channels on Astra 3A (difficult in the UK) are CT1, 2, 4, 24, Prima & Noe, plus a few Slovak channels.

If you want the 3A channels you are going to need a biggish dish - if you can do without then a 60-80 cm dish will be fine.

OK. Very good. Wasn't apparent from your previous posts if you have the card or not.
Now your next step is to find a suitable receiver with Cryptowork support.
You should make sure if the card need to be paired (married) to the receiver or not. My guess is probably not.
A cheap possibility might be buying a Dreambox 500S (clone most probably these days) and using CCcam emulator to save you buying a Cryptowork CAM. Cost 50-100 pounds
But you would need to install an image that will not kill the box.
There are receivers with multicrypt support, but I can't tell you if Cryptowork is included.
Have a look at this list
http://www.sateuropa.co.uk/overview....tid=1&subcat=1
Do you have any friends or family who watch this package?
You can test your card on their system and if it works then just buy the same receiver.

**HB13DISH** · 10-12-2008

Technisat DIGIT MF4-S CC has Cryptowork and Conax and is good for your CSlink cards (they even mention it in the spec). also it has an additional CI slot for other encryptions.
_http://www.technisat.com/indexb899.html?nav=Sat_DVB_S_,en,64-155
Costs about 100 euro in Germany.
I suggest you go over the list here and see if there is a better choice

Edit:
Found it at Sateuropa 115 Punds

Looks more expensive. Has more features. Check the price.
It's your decision which receiver to buy and there is always something better AFTER you buy it. Don't blame us afterwards if you make a bad choice.
You have now enough information to get you started in the right direction.

d30 · 10-12-2008

no im not gonna blame you ...to be honest im really happy if someone give me any advice .....

by the way i dont wanna looks like tottal idiot but reciever which iv got when i sign up with SKY.co.uk is good for anythink else or it is just for Sky tv???? and maybe freewiev???

A Sly digibox won't work for the channels your require from Astra1E/3A.

Have you decided what channels you want yet so that you can determine what dish size you would need for either 1E or 3A satellite ?

d30 · 10-12-2008

Ok so i decided if i do not need Prima,Ct1,Ct2 ant other 3 channels i can watch online . And im not sure but i think it is possible that those 3 channels wil be moved to Astra 1E soon or later.
By the way is there even small chance if i will get these 3 channels with 60 dish from my place???

So i have to buy 60 dish .Satteliteman do you think if i have to wait untill i get my reciever and then try it on Sky dish or ?????

And 1 more question what else ill be able watch with 60 dish ?? i mean Astra 1E etc etc???

Thank you
