[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 423829, member: 262829"] I am not familiar with Sky UK satellite setup (dish size, receiver model, Sky contract conditions, etc.) so please bear with me if what I am suggesting below is not possible for some unforseen reason. But since you have already a dish pointing at 19.2E ? then perhaps you can use it to watch hotbird if you change the LNB to one which is good for both satellites. All you need to do is to ask an installer to change the LNB and to run a cable to the receiver, add a Diseq switch so that you can select the correct satellite. Check if the receiver can allow you to have a Diseq and if you can scan, add and watch other channels from other satellites. This way you don't need to spend much on equipments and you need only to buy the cheapest Nova card that you can find. Is the dish a property of SKY or is it yours ? Maybe this is not such a good idea if Sky doesn't allow any changes to their equipments, as per their contract. Also, check if the receiver embedded CAM supports IRDETO encryption. (check also if Conax can be encrypted for the DigitALB) If all goes well, then all you have to do is to insert the Nova smartcard whenever you want to watch your prefered matches. Should the Sky smart card be inserted into the box all the time ? It would help other members to give their opinions about this post if you can give more details about your system Dish size Dish position (pointing to which satellite) Receiver model number and make (attach a pdf manual if you have it or download it from the maker website) [/QUOTE]
