Managed to pick up 5e, 13e, 19e and 28e whilst holding the sky dish, so we are going to go ahead with the installation as most of the arc should be fine. Cheers for the replies.

A friend of mine wants to get a motorised dish set up in his new flat. However, there are a number of trees just in front of the only area which he may put the dish on the flat. There are some sky minidishes already on the flat pointing in the general direction of the trees so I think most...

If people cannot receive sky, then they will have no chance of receiving the Freesat service, as it will operate from the same satellite position!

interesting, could they not use some form of soft encryption that could be opened to sky viewers as well? or have specific versions of those channels on specific frequencies. There are already multiple regions of those channels broadcast. Guess we only need to hear from the beeb or itv. I...

I have a feeling that they may use some form of encryption on certain channels when it launches according to the Astra website they have still not decided this. This could mean they may not be restricted by the smaller footprints. w*w .astra2d.com/freesat.htm

The spanish DTT package that is available via hispasat for people in spain who cannot get the normall DTT signal in remote areas of spain, can now be opened with a Mvision receiver with patches that are available from spanish forums. This the DTT channels listed on flysat

What will be so special about Freesat when it launches apart from channels 4 and 5 going FTA? The rest is all viewable with any FTA receiver currently available on the market.

Good signal now here (not far from Stansted Airport) on my Triax td88. 74-78% on Czech link, and 70-73% on the Slovak link. 24 hour clear picture. Not tested in bad weather yet, but with comfortably over 70% it should not be a problem. Only received these channels after re-allignment by a...

I live in the south of UK, and have a Triax Td88 with a technomate 1600. After long time trying, I have finally managed to get Fox Sport with the following method. In the satellite setup menu I deleted the 16e satellite completely by pressing the blue button, and then resaved it, apparently...

I have just noticed that you profile says you do have a technomate, In that case go to a l s a t .co.uk, in the technomate section of the forum you will find all the information you need to get the TPS france channels on sunday for the game on canal + sport

what receiver do you have? If it is a technomate you can get canal + france on TPS at the moment by downloading a software, the game will be on there.

I would not get too excited about Premiere. Although this press release Says that they can show "up to" 320 games a season it just means that they have the choice to show any of the 320 but they probably won't show anywhere near all of them. It also says that when games are in parallel (I...

Hi I am wondering about picking up the Czech channes on the digi tv package on Intersat 10-02 spot 3. Could anyone please inform me whether they can pick this satellite up in the UK and what sort of dish would be required by stansted airport. I have looked on Lygsat and there seems to...

sorry another question related to this satellite. I am just about to purchase a motorised set up, and still have concerns about the reception of this satellite for the Czech channels. I have been offered a Triax 88x95cm high gain dish for a good price, and also a 1m dish for slightly more cash...

So what about a set up like this? ebay item number 260075122652 It seems quite a good price, but is it likely to have a good signal? Cheers (appologies if links are not allowed)
