[QUOTE="LairyLarry, post: 45791, member: 179936"] Hi, I know there are lots of postings on this site, and probably my many questions have already been answered, but I would appreciate some help. I have a Sky Digi box, which I bought about 4 years ago. I had it installed and running when I lived in Munich (south Germany), without any problems. I was only receiving the Free to air channels, which I had set up using a UK postal address, bank account, and fully paid up TV License. The dish is the original Eliptical Mesh dish! The equipment has been sitting in my cellar for the last two years, and I am now contemplating taking it out of storage and setting up. I have heard numerous rumours about the satellite footprint getting smaller and smaller, and that people living outside of the UK needing larger dishes. I am now living in Darmstadt which is just south of Frankfurt in Germany. What I would therefor like to know is: a) Does anyone have experience or knowledge of whether I would be able to receive SKY on the Eliptical/Mesh dish that I have (in Darmstadt)? B) As my free to air card is now about 3 years old, would I need to request a new card from SKY or should my old one still work? c) How easy/difficult is it to get the satellits dish pointing in the correct location. (I have no neighbours receiving sky, to use as a reference position). Do I need a signal meter, or will the signal meter in my sky box be enough? Thanks very much in advance for the answers. regards Larry [/QUOTE]
