Comments please on system I propose to buy and questions arising.
I am resident in Switzerland (nr Zurich) since April 04. Have UK TV (PAL-I, so can only get pic and no sound from cable/aerial). Wish to get BBC ONE and TWO and some German/Austrian channels. Plan to receive from Astra 1, Astra 2 and Hotbird, with fixed dish and multi LNBs.
System I'm thinking of is:-
Technisat DigiCorder S1 40GB
Triax TD 78 80cm dish with quad LNB
Questions:-
1. Will that receiver support PAL-I as well as PAL B/G?
2. How does the quad LNB with its 4 'F' connectors connect to the receiver? Is there a bit of kit I've missed. Do four coax cables have to go from the LNBs all the way indoors to the receiver?
3. Must I buy meters etc. to locate the satellites (I'm retired so time is not a problem).
Here's hoping there's someone out there who can help.
