[QUOTE="cpc, post: 32239, member: 177178"] I am planning a two dish system for installation in the South of France, one to receive 28.2E FTA digital channels (80cm dish), one to receive 5W FTA analogue channels (60cm dish). I have a multisystem Thomson TV set (PAL/NTSC/SECAM), and was planning to buy a Technomate 5500AD receiver and use a Global DISEQC switch to switch between LNB's. Does this sound ok so far? The reason I ask is that I am concerned about the receiver coping with the SECAM analogue channels - I emailed Technomate, and they said I will need a transcoder (expensive) for analogue channels whereas several threads on this forum suggest I will be ok so long as the TV can cope with the SECAM standard. Is this an issue about whether I connect to the TV using RF or SCART? If there is a problem with the receiver, can someone suggest an alternative? By the way, Technomate also said I need an "SPS one" switch, is that the same as a Global 2 to one external LNB switch? If not, is one better than the other? I would appreciate any help - this started off sounding simple and has got a lot more complicated than I expected! [/QUOTE]
