[QUOTE="w hole, post: 125805, member: 175048"] Hello ElP If I were you I wouldn't bother with Analogue at this time. it will be closing down before too long, and the cost of going for digital is not too great. Get yourself a FTA Digital Box and a seperate dish for 19.2E, and you will get not only all the regional variants, but also the Extra Channels such as ARD Extra/Festival/and Plus, and of course many other European FTA services as well. Later you could add another LNB to get 13E at a minimal cost. Reception should be strong and I don't suppose you will have to replace your equipment for several years. If you want any further advice, don't hesitate to come back and ask. Regards W.H. PS. to get some idea of what is available to you have a look here: http://www.satcodx2.com/_data/0192.txt and here: http://www.satcodx1.com/_data/0130.txt Just <Select All> <Copy> and paste into Excel as <Paste Special> <Text> then run Auto Filter for 'TV-DIG' to see what is there. PPS. BTW To answer you original question, yes you could get limited reception via your Sky Box, but you would need at the very least a seperate LNB and preferably a extra dish, and dear old Rupe has made it as difficult as possible for his kit to be used to receive anything other than his own stuff.
