Hi
I am stuck at home after an illness left me disabled. I love TV and now have Virgin cable TV as a gift which was a gift from a friend.
I used to fit satellite systems in the early 80s and then into the early 90s but it was almost all analogue in those days. I have the electronic knowledge but sadly my legs won't get me up the ladder so to speak.
Would there be a decent setup I could aim for using say a 80cm -100cm motorised dish? I am not looking for free sports or racing, I have all that via Virgin but it would be interesting to know if there is more FTA channels out there worth watching. In the older days I used a 1.2m dish to get some of the sports feeds for golf, football etc but I doubt they're available these days in the clear.
My though was perhaps Hotbird would have some decent FTA channels?
Can you guys advice me on what to buy in terms of dish, motor, receiver etc? I can get my mate to install it under my supervision. I have a south facing elevation for the dish and very good LOS across most of the satellite arc.
Thank you
