[QUOTE="Topper, post: 87102, member: 186250"] Well mrminibus It is as easy or complicated as you wish to make it. You mention that you accidentally came across other satellites when adjusting your dish. Those satellites and many many others are all in geosync orbit around the earth at some 25Km out I think or is it miles?. Anyhow they all have fixed positions (measured in degrees, e.g. 19.2E )on that curve which is known as the Clarke Belt. The shape of that curve or arc alters as you move further towards or away from the equator. Your first port of call needs to be h**p://lyngsat.com or h**p://kingofsat.net, have a look at what channels are in the clear and on which satellites and you will then get an idea of what is available and where. Then you need to decide if these clear or FTA (free to air) channels are enough to satisfy your curiosity. If they are then for peanuts you can pick up a dish and lnb and Lidle I understand have bargain basement receivers in at the moment which appear to be well supported technically. If however you have a more specific requirement for doing this i.e watching live footy etc then you need to be looking towards more technology driven equipment such as a receiver with CI slots for CAMs (conditional access modules) and cards etc. Only you know your own desires and your own budget constraints.
