My System: 1.4m dish. Panasonic TU-DSB30 receiver/decoder. |
I live in Mallorca and have a 1.35m dish fitted with an Invacom twin LNB. Using an old Panasonic DSB30 receiver I get pretty good reception most of the time. I'm thinking of buying a second hand Sky + receiver off EBay purely for the hard disk recorder. Does anyone know if any make is better or worse than others for fringe area reception with my existing dish and LNB? Any advise would be appreciated. Steve | ||

My System: 1.4 dish invacom lnb pace ds440n digibox | The other option is the Humax Foxsat hdd+, but it's not cheap, about £250, I have one working here in southern Spain, and I'm very pleased with it. You will need a twin or quad LNB to get all of it's features i.e. record 1 channel while watching another or record 2 channels at the same time | ||

My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 | If you mean the Foxsat HDR, the answer is no. | ||

My System: Topfield 7710 HD PVR, Humax HDCI2000 HD Triax 1.1m (on 0.8w), Orbital 80cm dish with 3 LNB 13e, 19.2e and 28.5e 4/1 way diseqc Cas 3+ Diablo 2.3 & TRex 4.6 Rover SDM2 | I don't know if you're trying to use the box for subscrition channels or just the free ones. I use a Topfield 7710HDPVR in Menorca to record free channels with it's twin tuners, I can use an old Sky card in a Trex 4.6 cam which enables pairing. I only use it for CH4 HD as you can get the rest free anyway by tuning to the freesat frequencies including ITV HD. If you ask it maybe possible, I think!, to record subscrition Sky with one of the many boxes like the Topfield without paying the extra £10. I update the sky card in a Grundig box which does lose signal at night even with a 1.8 dish but the Topfield is fine on all my channels. (My dish has twin LNB's offset for 13 and19 with 28 at the centre). Jem | ||
