Hi all,

I'm completely new here and have absolutely minimal satellite knowledge, but I'm looking to get hold of as many Portuguese channels as I can (not just streaming but via a dish).

I have a number of questions:
- What dish should I buy? Would something like this suffice, if not what recommendations would you have? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Satgear-80cm-Satellite-Dish-Kit-0/dp/B002XD0FKW
- What box is recommended? Someone I know over there has a decrypted box and they get all the channels, would that box just work as it does there but over here if I was to get hold of one?

Are there any other helpful tips or hints for a complete novice? How easy would it be to hookup to the occasional football match with this sort of setup too?

Thank you all for the time and your answers, it's appreciated!

If you want all the Portuguese channels its not cheap - you need the official box from the provider plus an ongoing subscription (*). If you can make do with RTPi then it can be done for minimal cost


(*) Other ways may possibly be available but you wont get any help or information about them here. We only deal with legitimate subscription means of getting pay channels.
