[QUOTE="Gilder, post: 160437"] Hi, As you will probably guess from what I am about to ask I am a complete novice to this, but here goes... I have a Technomate 1500CI+ receiver with a standard Sky minidish (aligned to whatever Sky usually align their dishes to). It seems to pick up a number of channels on two of the Astra satellites and also Nilesat and Arabsat. When I do a blind search it brings up a large list of channels on these satellites, and the majority can be viewed. Some however just appear as a black screen (this is not because they are pay channels). Could this be because my dish is not large enough? Would I benefit from upgrading to a larger dish? If so then I would quite like for it to be one of those transparent dishes (it has to go on the front of the house) so is there any particular setup that you would recommend? Would this also be likely to pick up european channels or for this would I need a motorised dish? Thanks in advance for any help. Aidan [/QUOTE]
