Russian and Latvian channels

[Cuculand]

I would like what hardware you can recommend and size dish I will need to install Russian and Latvian Channels.

Do I need an special cards to pay or are there a free view.



I am living in Uk, South West ...

Sirius 3

Sorry to be new in this but I would like to learn more about it

Many thanks in advance for the good forum and hard work.....

The majority of these channels can be received on a 1m dish as far as Wales. There is a difference in signal strength between morning and evening however, and rain/cloud cover will also have a detrimental effect on the reception, so don't expect 24 hour viewing.

I have a 90cm dish and a Techomate receiver motorised system(two years old). I do not know about any Latvian channels (but then I have never looked!). You can,however, pick up several RUSSIAN free(to air) channels on:Sirius, filmnet(in Russian!) etc. Also, Hotbird satellite-try TBN Russia, an entertainment channel. There are other Russian programmes(free) but you'll have to search for them.
Happy viewing! Hope this advice is of some help. Also purchase a copy of 'What Satellite' from WH Smith's ,expensive(£3.99) but useful.

Whilst WS does have some use, it is not ideal for people scanning channels with a motorised system.
Latvian channels do exist on Sirius, TV5 for example, however suffer from the same signal anomalies as others when viewed in the UK.

Have a look through the site _www.lyngsat.com for more details

I would like to know if I need pay to viasat to view the channels TV3, TV6, LTV1 LNT, LTV5 LATVIJA.

Those are channels from latvia and I would like to now if is better to install for best signal a 1 m dish and a dream box receiver... any recomendations are welcome.. thanks to all.

Yes you would have to pay for a subscription for the Viasat channels if you were to view them with the official receiver.

A 1m dish is unlikely to be suitable however as from past experience, the Viasat receivers do not have a sensitive tuner.

LTV5, LATVIJA - these two are not carried on satelite:
