any ideas? I think it might be a signal issue after all. I read somewhere that dvb-s2 requires a better signal. would a better lnb help?

I am both in London and in Athens, not at the same time though :)

Hi, I'm in Athens, Greece with a dish for Astra 19.2 and Hotbird (simple diseqc switch setup) Strangely I cannot receive any DVB-S2 transponders, e.g: Das Erste HD: Transponder 11 ASTRA 19.2° Ost Frequenz 11,362 GHz Polarisation horizontal Fehlerschutz FEC 2/3 Symbolrate 22 MSymbols/s...

thanks for your answer. sorry about the link

hi, i would like to get a better fm radio reception where i live. i'm currently not getting much more than the strongest stations with an indoor antenna that came with the radio (20cm of thin cable). the antenna we've got on the roof looks a bit like this...

He would want 28.2e to get the British channels (BBC, ITV, CH4). But not if you need a 3m dish. I guess 1.5m would be the maximum dish size. But my original question was what would be the minimum dish size to get 13e and 19.2e on one dish in Athens? Would something like 80cm be enough or would...

ok, so no chance for 28.2e. How about 13e + 19.2e?

Hi, I'm enquiring on behalf of my brother who has moved to Athens/Greece. What dish size would be required for a multiple lnb system to receive: a: 13e + 19.2e? b: 13e + 19.2e + 28.2e? Many thanks for your help Martin

I'm only concerned that the sky box would probably complain that the card isn't in it while it is connected to the telephone line ;) Well, it's easy for broadband providers to know what their customers are up to. They also have to keep records ans scan traffic because you and me could be...

Another issue I thought of: If I use sky broadband, would they notice what I'm using the internet for with regards to their tv service, or should I be careful there?

So using a sky plus box without a telephone line would work although I'm supposed to use one? Although a sky plus box would be no use anyway if I can't split the card between it and another receiver

They usually don't mind if you don't have it connected to the telephone line despite what the contract says. Is this the case for sky plus boxes, too or just for ordinary boxes?

I've just finished moving my dish and adding 4 lnbs on a multi lnb holder, for 13e, 19.2e, 23.5e, 28.2e Equipment used: Orbital 80cm, 4 x Edision QSL-5 0.2 dB Quad LNB, 4 x Edision Diseqc 4/1 Switch, 2 x Orbital 9 Degree LNB Holder I've used twin coaxial (shotgun) cable from the lnbs to the...

Hi, I'm thinking about getting sky sports +broadband +phone. Is it technically possible to use the sky card in the sky plus box and a dreambox at the same time? Would I be required to have the sky plus box plugged into the phone line (there's no phone line in the room and I don't want to)...

Yes, I think it's best to wait, before paying a couple of hundred € for a new box. Maybe the prices, especially for HD will go down over time as well ;)
