    Advice Needed DiSEqC switching, Eutalsat (French) + Astra (UK)

    I think that Analoguesat may be correct. I can't find anyone who has actually tried the CI+ card in this unit. The question isn't about the type of television. It's whether this FranSat CI+ card will work in a Humax Foxsat HDR box connected to a television (not one specifically with a sat...

    @harrybadger, I suspect you may be correct. I can't find anyone who's actually used this Fransat CI+ card in the Foxsat HDR. I have, however, found at least one person who used that card in a different receiver (not a television), and I have seen other people reporting that this card works in...

    Ok I now have the Humax Foxsat HDR. Looks very nice. To get it to receive Fransat on Eutelsat 5° West, it seems that I need some sort of decoder card. This is the card and adaptor here: http://www.tvcorner.com/product_info.php/products_id/949 Are all of these things standard? It says it...

    I don't care about the IPTV part. It otherwise looks like a good receiver with a hard disk to act as a PVR. I chose it because the freesat site leads me to believe that it's easy and out of the box working with the UK channels. Adding the French channels should be simple as there are only...

    Yes, I do know about the dish size, I need at least an 80cm dish. I had an ancient sky box that worked fine with the 80cm dish. So the 1000S can manage 2 separate satellites on 4 different ports of 2 switches just fine? Super! If I add 2 more LNBs, do I need 2 more dishes? Or is it possible...

    Advice Needed DiSEqC switching, Eutalsat (French) + Astra (UK)

    I have a house in the South of France. I want to set up a pair of satellite antennas, one to capture the French free-to-air channels on Fransat Eutalsat 5W and a second dish to capture the UK free-to-air/Freesat channels. I was thinking of purchasing a 1000S from Freesat and then, I understand...
