The question has been moved and is now in the right place (We are here to help!)

Just wait a while and an answer of sorts to your actual question will appear .......... :-righton

Ah you are in central Slovakia - thats not particularly favourable for Astra 2D reception!

 

[Analoguesat]

Vertical transponders - a well installed 3m diameter dish

Horizontal transponders - forget it - 5m plus is required in Slovakia.


However read this:

Sounds as if a Slingbox solution might need to be considered.

hi mate,

i have no idea about vertical or horizontal, lol, so i nned a 3m or a 5m???

Also, if 2d is an issue for me in central slovakia, whats the next best thing.

2a, or should i get rid of the pace 2600 and get a humax hd and look to freesat as opposed to sky???

thanks

 

[Lazarus]

No point getting Freesat as the difficult Channels to get are exactly the same ones .... it's just the EPG that differs.


Ergo, see my comment above about Slingbox.

 

[quickdantheman]

hi there,

and there is nothing to get easier than the 2d beam, even if i keep the pace 2600.
just spent 10mins looking at a slingbox on amazon.

have no idea what it is, or what it does

The best thing to do is move to western Europe!

Which channels are you SPECIFICALLY most interested in watching?

They are basically a place-shifting device. The SB is hosted at friend or family in western Europe and the channels slung across the internet via broadband connections.

You watch on the receiver or your computer in Slovakia.

The downside is you need a fast upload at the remote location - a standard 350kbps upload speed isnt anywhere near suitable..

 

[quickdantheman]

Moving is out of the question lol, if it were that easy.

I just want free to view or free to air.

BBC1, BBC2 ITV1 ,C4,C5, ITV1, ITV2, E4, These would suffice lol

miss tv so much, damn it!
