Is there any way to unhide "antenna setup" in Skybox menu. Sysinfo states that that the system name is Pace. I would like to add Astra 1 via Diseqc switch but could not find the way to modify antenna setup on this box.

Thanks a lot!

There is nothing to unhide O-no
You cannot use Diseqc switching with a sky digibox it is not supported, a digibox is only any good for 28.2 East Astra 2 and nothing else

All that kit you have there mate. Why would you want to do such an insane thing. :-rofl2

It will work on Astra 1(19.2E) though a bit, but the 'other channels'
menu is far too much of a pain to use sensibly.

Thanks for prompt reply!

So as far as I understand the only solution is to setup regular box next to skybox just to use it for other satellites?

What do people normally do to watch Sky and other channels? Are there any receivers that can support sky card?

Sorry for asking stupid questions but I have never used skybox before and one of my friends that brought the box from UK has troubles watching other channels but sky...

Thanks a lot!

You Dreambox does exactly that. :)
 
So I should probably get a DM500 for my friend. Are there any manuals describing how to setup Dreambox to be used with Sky? Can you recommend any links to read?

I'm using several different Linux boxes (Dreambox and IPBox) with Sky cards 99% successfully (*). You need the CCcam software.

You could search for posts by myself and others in the Dreambox section; if you have any other queries then within the rules of the forum I'm happy to answer them - again in the Dreambox section.

(*) At The Races is a bit of a pain.
