[QUOTE="kungpo, post: 62916, member: 182974"] Good choice, I have an 8082ci as well, and I find it works pretty well If you can, use a SCART cable to connect to your telly - the pictures will be much better, plus you don't need the TV tuned to a channel. As far as what kind of LNB you have, it is most likely to be a universal. Set the option in the satellite menu option (where you specify the specific sat) and make sure it is set to universal. As far as actually telling whether it is or isn't actually a universal LNB, I think the answer is something to do with 22Khz switching from low to high band. However, if you do a channel search on hotbird, if your LNB is universal, you should get 816 channels. If you can get yourself up the ladder, it is well worth investing in a monoblock LNB, as this will get you Astra 1 as well as Hotbird, which is pretty much my set up at home. [/QUOTE]
