Thought of trying to improve my chinese language and hence trying to receive all chinese channels in London. If there are any missed, please add.

And whilst at it receive Freesat and HD. They appear on different satellites, what equipment would be required, i may look to try and install it diy?

thanks for ideas.
 
All the channels on Eurobird 9 are encripted barring as you've put cctv4 you will need a card to view , contact these _www.chinese-channel.co.uk_ they can supply card for you:)
 
Does this mean you will require a multi lnb holder with 4 LNB to pick up the 4 different satellites?
 
Going a motorised route is an option :)
 
Motorised is an option, I didn't know they could do that attached on the wall, pretty neat.

On another note trying to the maximise receiving channels at the same time so I can record with pvr. A Diseq switch will probably limit 1 satellite at a time. So i'll probably need 4 lnb input feeds and attached to 4 satellite receivers.
 
Why not fixed dish on 9e and seperate motorised system for the others:)then you can record from one and use the other to view.
 
yeah kind off. but probably if i can get away with 1 dish, and have 4 feeds working at the same time, i can record tvb, freeview and new tang dynasty as an example.

you got tvb?
 
Na install it occasionally for the website i listed in earlier post:)
 
starting on a smaller scale for receiving 2 satellites with lnb holder. If the dish is only 60cm dish will i be able to receive Eurobird 9 and Astra 28 with normal freesat and high definition freesat?

where's the cheapest place to buy a multi lnb holder? i saw one in maplin for £20, expensive at first notice.
 
If I may be so bold, I think a 19 degree spread on a 60cm dish is pushing your luck a bit, having said that I have never tried it, but I would have thought 80cm or 90cm to avoid dropout during the frequent inclement weather we get in Europe
 
80cm+ dish required for the spacing of those two satellites.
Triax Td88 with offset bracket or Gibertini 1m.
 
thanks, i'll research into those.

New Tang Dynasty TV - NTD TV actually falls on Hotbird 6, 13 degrees, their web site was out of date.

Maybe i'll only need those 2 angles, 13 and 28.

I found out that an array of satellites fall under 28 degrees East, Eurobird1, Astra 2A,2B,2C,2D, which is good as I will be able to pick up many channels with my basic satellite receiver.
