My System: C and Ku
Sky +Box

Can the above box be used as a FTA receiver covering C and KU bands?

My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/13E/16E /19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S


The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue

It can be used on Ku band, but only for signals with symbol rates 22000 and 27500.

Channels can only be put on the Other Channels menu, and cant be recorded. (OC is horribly clunky to use at the best of times)

To be brutally honest, its not worth using a sky digibox for anything other than Sky UK!

My System: 43cm Dish, Sky Plus V2, Thomson DSI6210 Sky+160, Thomson DSI4214, FRACARRO PENTA 85cm, Invacom Twin, Moteck SG2100a H-H DiSEqC Motor, TF5000CI, TM-5200D, Sling Media, Rover ST-4, Rover SDM-1s, 57E to 58W, Tecatel 1.35m fixed on 28e, Pace D5430-N

It's not worth using it for that even, lol.... in my opinion

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

No, that's a bit unfair, I have not seen a better dedicated box than the Sky+ box, does pretty much everything I want, but for any other satellites, forget it.

If not subscribing to Sly of course, any receiver with Hard drive record facility will do just a good job, although one would miss the EPG now that's fair... just amusing myself Rolf
