Thanks, that sorted it out So for me the best option is to point my dish at hotbird right? Do you think it would be easy to install the dish alone? | ||

If you're just going for the one satellite with a fixed dish you need at least to know that you have a good line of sight to the satellite and know where the satellite is in regards your location.

thx for the advice i thought i'd make sure i had a good job done so i have just phoned a local satellite chappy to come saturday and put my dish up, the only thing concerning me was that because i am going for a fixed dish would hotbird be my best choice? with regards to my skysat2 pci card+prog dvb or dvb viewer with regards to my soft cams etc? | ||

Regarding choice of satellite, mignt be worth investing in a monoblock LNB and setting your dish up for Hotbird and Astra 19E. | ||

Astra 19E is probably the best for films and sport (Pr*mier bouquet) at present. T P S on Hotbird OK too, but liable to change encryption soon and disappear fron emus. Extract vplug files into the progDVB plugin folder, its softcam needs to be updated frequently. Llew | ||

My System: Skystar 2 Prog DVB 80cm Dish |
Hi i have just been talking to the chap who is installing my dish on saturday and i asked him about the monoblock for astra 1 and hotbird, and hes told me it wont work unless i have diseqc 1.2 or something? I am using my computer, prog dvb and sky star 2 PCI card as my receiver, could you please tell me if it has this diseqc 1.2 and if this will be possible for me? thanks again for all your guys help (I just read that i should be using DiSEqC 1.0 for switches. DiSEqC 1.2 is for motors.) does this help at all? The Technisat site says the sky star 2 features diseqc 1.0 so maybe i am ok? | ||

My System: skystar2. | Id think your ok with 1 or 1.2... I use an ex EuropeOnline Skystar 2 (v2.3) card with progdvb and a motorized dish, most of the time pointed to 1°W but if it can shift a motor it can work a switch. | ||

Haven't tried myself (prefer C*nal Sat on the same sat - using a Diablo cam in a proper STB) | ||
