[QUOTE="JTA, post: 564354, member: 191063"] all of the 28E satellites (Astra2 + Eurobird) are on the same position (well, mostly) so tweaking won't really help. Rolfw seems to suggest that you need a 1.5 meter dish to receive Astra2D in Berlin. There are some ITV/c4/Five channels which are not on 2D so a Sky FTV card would open them for you ...... until they are moved to the 2D satellite, which is the ultimate purpose of Freesat. Freesat is a collection of FTA channels with a dedicated channel end epg software setup. You do not need a freesat receiver to get the FTA channels (if you can receive them, that is), you just don't get the epg or the channel list. a non-subsidised Sky box will NOT work with your setup. You have 3 LNB heads connected to a disecq switch. You need a receiver which is capable of controlling this disecq switch, and a sky box cannot do this. [/QUOTE]
