[QUOTE="H.Rule, post: 354562, member: 250618"] Hi everyone I'm new to this group and sort of new to satellite in general, well, out of date may be a better description as the last time I really dabbled with it was in the old analogue days nearly 20 years ago! About 17/18 years ago, when I was living in Northern Ireland, I bought (and installed myself) a Uniden satellite receiver (8008?) and 1.2 metre dish - it was really unusual then! I got Eutelsat and Intelsat on this (having to swing the dish manually between satellites whilst watching a portable tv!) and used to get various newsfeeds from the US for the likes of the BBC etc, along with various TV channels and radio stations - me and my brother witnessed the start of the first Gulf War on a sparkly CNN. Things have changed so much since then! :confused: I'm thinking of buying a new system (and am currently living in London) and would like to be able to get lots of tv/radio from Europe, the Middle East, maybe Africa, and the Far East (as much in English as possible, and FTA, also if possible). I'd also like to be able to get those newsfeeds again if I still can, although I suspect in this digital age they may be encrypted. I understand that I'll probably need a motorised dish, and am looking at a Technomate receiver (not sure which one) - any recommendations from anyone regarding either? I'm not sure I could install a motorised dish myself as I only have limited wall space for this…. I have a budget of maybe £400 for all but at a push could go up a bit if worthwhile. Many thanks Hal [/QUOTE]
