[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 519607, member: 256551"] Yes, you could use your existing dish, but you would be very limited to what you could potentially view. It is either the FTA channels or the Sky encrypted ones, which are easiest got with a Sky Digibox and a necessary Sky subscription/viewing card. Setanta also requires a Sky Viewing card. I have heard that the Sky encrypted channels can also be watched using a Sky viewing card mated with a Diablo CAM, but this is not without problems. For the greatest choice a motorised dish is the best option, also you may wish to consider a Technomate receiver, they do a HD version.(TM6800 or 6900). Another package worth considering is DigitAlb on 16E, if you like football. You should be OK with the existing cable, as long as it is satellite quality double screened. Benchmarked cables such as wf100 are better. Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
