hello everyone,
I've had a look around here and think you may be able to help me; I've tried to find the answers but am a little overwhelmed by it all.
I currently have a Panasonic TUDSB45 digibox and Sky Digital minidish install in Coventry, West Midlands UK. I am considering changing to a bigger dish (80 cm ?) and getting one or two extra lnb's fitted. I believe I need to get a different / second digibox too, some kind of switch and a second coaxial cable run from the dish.
My motives for this are a mixture of wanting to:
1) view free to air european channels and keep sky digital services.
2) view any (?) free to air hardcore mature content and _maybe_ subscribe to a channel.
So, given the above, could you please take a moment to answer the following few questions, treating me as a total satellite newbie please :
1) Which satellites can be picked up as described above, which serve both of my described 'motives'.
2) Which brands or specifications of digibox should I look at, again bearing in mind my described motives.
3) Relative to your previous answers, what specifically do I need in terms of extra cable runs, lnb's and switches (internal or external).
I know my layout here looks quite clinical but I am trying to be very clear and hopefully receive suitable advice and help. I can then research the costs of getting an installer to do the work for me. Presumably they usually want to supply their own parts.
Thanks a lot for any specific help,
Lee
