Satellite system?
My Sky contract is coming up to the end and I think its time to ditch them this time.
I've been looking at satellite systems one fixed dish and 3 lnbs spaced out to look at astra 28.2e, astra 19e and hotbird at 13e. Looks like
thousands of channels although a lot non English but sport or the other ahem, stuff is ok not in English to me.
Anyone got a setup like this? I'm keen to see what people think and what channel's are actually available??
I've bought a Techomate twin tuner sat box today to check out want I can revive on 28.2 where all the sky stuff and freesat come from.
Any advise??

Are you aware of the capabilities of the box ? You can get a sky subscripton very cheaply.....................................
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Being an 'foreigner', I have a 4 LNB dish pointing at 28, 23, 19 and 13, using a Vu+Duo receiver, a Dutch canaal-digitaal (paid for) and a
SKY free-to-view card. Can only get a few of the UK channels, but the basics are there (BBC/ITV/CH4/Five), with most in HD (except for Five).
Not sure about your receiver, but there's plenty of info here: http://www.freesat.co.uk/channels

Not sure I understand why you would want a new satellite system. My Tv comes through my internet connection and between services such as Netflix and
others virtually everything is available on demand. My biggest problem is what to watch because of the silly amount of choice.

Not everyone has the option of a fast broadband connection. It's also putting your eggs in one basket to some extent.

Google "sky c line" you'll get the picture.

I used to have a motorised set up where the box drove a motor that moved the dish to point at any visible satellite. At one point you could download
hacked keys to access paid content. It was cool but got fed up in the end. It would easily access all the free channels though.
I've still got the kit somewhere but just use freesat now.
