A friend that is moving from Virgin to Sky. Using the phone number they have setup for Virgin customers he phones them today for the install and was told that he would not have to pay the £10 a month charge for Sky+, and they also waived the installation fee! Do you think they will be dropping...

The roof is not that steep so that might work. I will have a look at the weekend. I need to work out the angle the dish will need to be set at, now I read how to work that out somewhere on this forum, best go and find it. Mat.

Garden is not an option as the wife will also object to that! I will have to investigate how far around I can get with a stand off mount or convince the wife that I can use the front of the house as it points due south. Mat.

I belive my wall points directly due east, which is a bit of a problem as putting a dish on the front of my house won't go down so well with the lady wife! Which means that it would have to go on a pole at the back of the house, is this allowed with the planning permission and stuff? Thanks Mat.

I was wondering how I can work out which satelllites I will be able to get the dish to point at? Thanks Mat.

Is Motors TV FTA or FTV? I can pick it up using my USB Sat card but it always tells me encypted(ProgDvb: bootom left comes up red and locked lock) but Motors TV says it is FTA? Thanks Mat.

Just received a brand new TT S2-3600(USB HDTV) and can get all channels using TT-Media and the supplied Power DVD for HD decoding. The Power DVD HD Decoder does not seem to good so I looked for some other programs. Could someone point me in either direction: 1) How to get Core AVC to work in...

So I almost have a setup for receiving BBC HD from my current Sky Dish, but have been looking at other options including a motorised dish. I was wondering what I would need for DigitAlb it seems to show new movies and has an english soundtrack. The setup is using a PC, so if I need to buy the...

Before the end of January I intend to purchase a DVB-S2 Usb box was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I currently looking at http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000GETVGO/shopzilcouk-computer-software-21/ref=nosim but wondered if anyone had any other suggestions? Wanting to watch...

Currently which HD channels are available (with or without softcams) with english language on 13e, 19.2e? Particulary intrested in Discovery HD Europe on 13e? Thanks Bob.

I support Liverpool but watch most football on TV. I have had a look at http://www.lyngsat.com and decided that what "Rod Hulls Ariels" has is a good idea. A two LNB system pointing at Hotbird @ 13E and Astra @ 19.2E. This should enable me to get quite a lot of channels, and the football...

It is mostly the sport(football, motor racing, snooker) I am after, a little adult night time viewing might be of intrest, but not if this will interfere with the sport. Yes, my current idea is to get 2 lnb's mounted on one dish for the moment(as this seems the cheaper and easier option for my...

Hi I am new to this forum and after much reading, am a little confused. I am planning to get a DVB for my PC and then set up a dish to receive the sattelite data. At the moment which satellite I use I am not to bothered about as I have found many lists of what is where. I am, however, after some...
