Greetings,
I'm in a bit of a problem here. I am slowly but surely switching over from Analog to Digital Satellite TV.
And now I would like to enjoy SkyTV. The Variety Mix is interesting me most of all.
I'm living in Germany and since the Landlords are a bit.. special..about dishes I have settled for the Multytenne. The as small as it gets dish with 4 LNB's pointed at the 4 important satellite positions and diseqc integrated.
My reception of the 28.2 Sattelite is pretty sufficient.
My problem now is, 28.5 Astra is in the diseqc B/A position. (Position 3)
As we all know the Sky Boxes don't support Diseqc. (I take it this information is still up to date).
So I am forced to use a normal DVB-S Receiver. Seeing I don't want to do without HDTV either,
I'll be using a DVB-S2 Receiver of some sort and use the Sky Card in it with a Diablo Cam. (As it appears that is the only viable option that I have)
Which leads me to the problem.
I suppose I will eventually run into problems doing the regular Card activation that must be done
through a sky box. Seeing how i can't use a sky box here.
What options do I have now? I suppose I could buy a Dreambox and then use it for the occasional card activation procedure? Other than that, is there any viable solution to my problem? Other than installing a second dish of course. (I am already happy IF the landlord will not complain about the first one)
I'm happy for any ideas.
Regards, Sulu
