[QUOTE="El Matarfie, post: 60653, member: 183559"] Hello there, this is my first post, so I hope that I've put it in the correct part of the forum! Anyway, I currently have a standard Sky Digital setup. But I would also like to be able to get the free foreign language channels available on 19.2 East: [url="http://www.ses-astra.com/tv-radio/guide/lineup/markets/D_digitaltvfree.htm"]http://www.ses-astra.com/tv-radio/guide/lineup/markets/D_digitaltvfree.htm[/url] Can anyone advise on how to go about doing this? I have been planning to buy a second dish (there seems to be plenty of standard Sky Digital type dishes for sale cheaply on Ebay), which I hope to tune into Astra 19.2. Can I connect both dishes to my single Sky decoder simulaneously, via some kind of switchbox, that will let me select which dish I want to use? Also, is the signal strength indicator on the Sky box's Setup menu sufficiently accurate to help me tell when I have the dish correctly aligned? Any advice on what type of dish to use (I was presuming I can use something identical to the Sky Digital dish I already have), what switchbox to use, plus any tips on how to align the dish, would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
