[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 82960, member: 187442"] Hi Max_a_Broke, a lot of questions, and hopefully I can help with a few. First, don't get into this hobby to save money, it seldom works like that, due to your location you are on the edge of a lot of footprints and so will need a largish dish for most satellites, although other members who live nearby can give more precise details, I think 90cm would be a minimum, and I'd look to over a 1m. Check this site for footprints and satellite channels: [font=Times New Roman][size=3]_http://www.lyngsat.com/[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][/size][/font] I haven't bothered with S*y , so I don't own a digibox, but from what I've read they're not much good for this hobby, as they have problems remembering other satellite channels apart from S*y, and do they have a CI slot? To get the most out of this hobby, the minimum you would require is a new receiver, depending on your expertise maybe a dreambox, which is an enthusiasts receiver which you can link to your computer and the internet. The advantage of the dreambox is that you wont require too much extra in the way of Cams and cards, to receive the available channels, but even they, at the moment, seem to require a MII card for Con*x and dragon cam for S*y Italia. You will require a phoenix card programmer, for programming a card such as the MII with the latest files, which can also be used for programming a Dragon Cam loader card. A motorised dish set up is also very useful to get the most from this hobby. Every person I know, who has got into this hobby has defunct cards, Cams, dishes, LNB's and even receivers as things change over the years, encryptions and requirements, and as it is a hobby they like to try out the latest technology, again not a good idea if you're looking to save money on a subscription. It is a very enjoyable hobby to get into, but you tend to spend more time discussing it, finding out what's available, and the latest news, than watching the channels you can get !!!!!! If you decide to join this hobby, you'll get hooked, but I don't think you'll end up saving money. Best wishes Mickha [/QUOTE]
