Thanks for these updates, I have just returned to GC and rescanned my dm800se. With my 1 mt dish ALL the sports channels are available including F1 so its looking good for milestone 11. There seems to many more movie channels available as well. Can't get the BBC feed though. I will try and...

This may be similar to "uktveverywhere" and seems much cheaper. Last month I bought an HDMI smart TV from Maplins @ £79.99, its really just a miniature android tablet without the screen, comes with a mini keyboard. While in the UK, I loaded it with Filmon to make sure it got the correct...

oldfart receives 726 channels with his 2.7 dish but with a 1 meter dish I have just done a rescan and have 379 channels. Main channels received here are:- Sky 1 SD/HD, Arts 1, atlantic SD/HD, living SD/HD and +1, showcase SD/HD discovery channels seem ok and 3E Ireland Sports HD 1,2,3,4 SD...

Sky news SD still missing with 1 meter dish, F1 HD and some other HD channels still missing.

Lanzadan, thanks for this list. It seems to confirm, that we now need to look at a very large dish or internet streaming.

Thanks for this confirmation. I only have an old SD sky box but, on the dreambox 800HD I have just done a scan but still can't get sky news HD or sports news. Looks like a large dish will soon be required.

In Gan Canaria today, I have lost Sly news, both HD and SD and C5 HD, "no signal being received" This is not looking good for those of us with smaller dishes.

oldfart, I found this dealer listed on the laminas site:- h**p://www.laminas.com.pl Miguel Pons Ahuir Los Cristianos, 38650 Arona, S/C Tenerife c./Berna 2, Edificio Cristianos I, locales 5 y 6 Check the link for phone numbers. Hope it helps

Thanks for this update BLUEPLATINUM, it will be interesting to see what we can receive when 2F is fully operational. It is a shame kiwitt does not confirm his current reception, if only to give us a clue. Regards

Yes BLUEPLATINUM, I too would like that information, particularly as kiwitt is not too far from me. It will be great if a 1.8m dish can be used instead of a 3m. Regards

Thanks Captain Jack for this information. I have been thinking of trying a similar arrangement for my DM800 but didn't really have a clue where to start. Cheers

Thats an interesting prediction BLUEPLATINUM and seems logical give that, Mr Murdoch already makes his main sports channels readily available on a small dish. In the meantime, I will stick with my trusty slingbox and, as as you suggested before, wait and see.

FRINGE, at that price you would probably be better off using a 3G usb stick, it would be much faster, I think you could get a deal from Carrefour, Yoigo or Hits mobile for much less. I use Hits for my mobile as its only 7 cents a minute at all times and only 5 cents minute for calls to UK ...

Hi, With Blend wifi I get around 7.5 Mbps which is fine for streaming but as BLUEPLATINUM says, it does sometimes have its problems which are generally cured by turning the system off for a few minutes and rebooting. Otherwise the engineer service has been good. I understand its owned by a...
