[QUOTE="carolebox, post: 493107, member: 279015"] I am not sure whether this is the right forum for these questions but here goes. The previous owner of my house left an installed Sky satellite dish. As far as i am aware the system worked alright. As part of rewiring the electrician has provided an extra feed cable 'in case Sky Box+ was going to be installed'. I do not need Sky Box+ nor indeed any subscription services. However, i would like to be able to receive French / German channels from Astra 19. Some years ago these were accessed via a 15 yr old Sky receiver.he quality was variable but mostly good enough to view. Should i have the existing dish realigned on Astra and forget Sky? If so, can the 'spare' feed be used? Would it be better to get another dish installed and pointed to Astra 19? What kind of receiver would i need to take these feeds? It is obviously time for an equipment upgrade - should digital reception be a factor in making the above decisions? Apologies for the number of basic questions. CB [/QUOTE]
