How to pick the right hardware...

ArthurSin

Hello to you all!
I'm not sure if i'm posting in the right place, if not please redirect.
I have never built a satelite TV system but i have a considerable electronics knowledge thus i think i am up for the challenge.

There is however one thing i don't understand:
1) How do i know which receiver , dish or bundle will be able to pick up the desired signal (my main priority are russian channels)

Thanks for your attention, will look forward to any help.

Arthur.

Have a look at this link:

It shows the channels from Russia that transmit in the skies above Europe. Note that many of them are scrambled. However you will see there is a reasonable selection available free to air (clear) on the Hotbird satellites.

If these will do you then the equipment requirements are fairly simple.
