[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1131223, member: 178786"] Any general satellite receiver such as an old Technomate 5402 (M3) or any E2 receivers will pick up Australian TV. If you want to get the multistream channels then any multistream capable receiver that can handle the modulation will be OK. However, there is a decent amount of free to view stuff that is not multistream. The most commonly used satellites are 152.0E, 156.0E (Foxtel) and 160.0E. There is plenty of Channel 7 and Channel 9 stuff free to air, with some UK programming on it. Reception of 160.0E is variable and dish size is dependent if you are on the East or West side of Australia. If you plan to install a dish yourself you need to take note of the unique polarity skew for the Optus satellites. However, any competent installer should be aware of this. Another point to note is that most of the Australian satellite frequencies in Ku-Band are high band and the most common LNB's are restricted frequency range with a single L.O. You might need to edit the L.O. in your Humax receiver if you use one of the single L.O. LNBF's. Universal LNBF's are available though in which case no editing to the L.O. in the receiver. [/QUOTE]
