Hi folks,

Does any one know if the malayalam channels Amrita, Kirali, Rainbow etc. still FTA on the eurobird 9.

Also heard that they are going to start Surya TV too on the Eurobird 9.

I am currently receiving Asianet and Asianet plus on Hotbird but may think of getting a second LNB if these channels are Free on eurobird.

Please let me know.

Regards.

Thanks a lot Analoguesat.. You are star!
Any idea or an educated guess how long they will be free.
Also as I asked earlier any info on Surya TV?

Secondly - is it easy to use diseqc switch with Technomate 3200D+ box. That is the receiver I have. What do I need to do to tell the TM box to use different LNBs.

Hi
I am new to the site.
I would like to setup malayalam channels at my home. Previously i have a NTL connection but i'm get bored and disconnected the service.
Could you please tell me the hardware specification and rest of the details please?
Your anwsers are much appreciated

You will need a dish pointing at 9E and a valid subscription because the audio is scrambled on the Malayalam channels. BTW - Amrita is currently off air due to a technical fault.
