Welcome to the forum paladan. The sat scene is a bit different in Europe compared to the US but I you're very welcome all the same.

Don't forget to read up our rules on posting about US channels - there are some very specific prohibitions there.

Ah, yes, good old DS: I remember you as one of the good guys. I was rai uno for many years until they dispensed with my services for actually being helpful!

Ah old Rai Uno, I remember you well. I've heard of many people falling foul of DS, and usually for really petty reasons, yet the place is littered with numb nuts and have been on there for years. Frustrates the hell out of ya !

I've been a member for 10 years but don't post that often. With having a young family I don't get that much time to do the things I'd like. By the time I read a post for the first time, someone replied hours previously hence my lack of posts. I read more that I post due to time really.

I think anybody who has a once of common sense has left DS as it's full of $ky fanboy & other idiots. Welcome to forum villager, do you have your Spiderbox yet?

Not yet Ghost. I've been doing some reading up on it over the last few days and to be fair I've been in the multi sat game before until I moved from Oldham 11 yrs ago and missing the freedom. For the constant channel updates, the Dreambox of Spiderbox would be the easiest to keep up to date with the Spiderbox winning on the ease of doing precisely that. The missus isn't keen on having a larger dish - going for 80cm as this should be fine for most of the satellites I need access too. Main reason for it is for channel surfing from around the world again and to get access to some of the Dutch channel as I'm a big fan of the darts and SBS6 have started showing darts championships. Also with the German's and their love of boxing, I'm up the ladder often moving it to 19.2 for RTL. I'm not a fan of heights so don't like doing it, but the dish isn't that high on the wall thankfully.

I've been in touch with Satelliteman to ensure the dish pack I'm looking to purchase is ok and he's no issues in installing, so will get this ordered next week as will be on my hols. Then I'll be up and running with multisat again with a futureproof box and less money going into Uncle Ruperts pockets

As for DS, of course you are right. I mean there is Analoguesat there of course trying to help out but yep, full of Sky fanboys. Good luck to 'em !
