[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 563997, member: 256551"] Also, I don't know the dish size for Berlin, but if it were possible to get Astra 2D with a 1m dish, you would want that LNB at the focal point. You may still get Hotbird with it like that, or it may push it too far over. If you got someone in the UK to subscribe for you, yes you would be able to use it there. However you would probably need them to get a 2nd hand one from ebay, or a non-subsidised one, as new subscriptions and installs with a subsidised box require a telephone line for the first year. I think Sky call a subscription for an existing box a 'second hand contract'. No, the Sky box would not work a Diseqc switch, so the easiest way to do it would be to fit a twin LNB at the 28E position, and run the Sky box off the spare output. [/QUOTE]
