[QUOTE="Marco4, post: 1078739, member: 414342"] Thanks for all the responses. Costmote's Family plan is only 13 euros per month, and this not only won't break the bank, but it also has all the channels I am interested in. Many of the channels I am interested in (e.g. Skai, ANT1, Star, Open, Epsilon, ERT 1, ERT2) are available through the Internet, either from a PC browser, or some app (e.g. Greek TV, etc). The problem with IPTV is that most set top boxes do not have a decent browser (or they are a pain to use) and the apps are a hit or miss, and they do not include some channels. I have a Roku stick which has a "Greek TV" app, which for the most part does the job, except that it does not have the Skai, Star, and some other channels. I can access Skai through my TV's rudimentary browser, but it is a bit of a pain. I also tried NVIDIA's latest Shield android TV box, but downloading a decent browser is a pain. There are some proprietary IPTV boxes that offer foreign channels, but they cost money, and chances are they not legal. Finally, IPTV transmission is often interrupted due to intellectual property rights, which means that some channels stop broadcasting through the internet when certain content cannot be transmitted outside Greece. Thus, Cosmote's Family plan through satellite for 13 euros per month (billed at my Greek address) is not a big deal. Thus, I may opt to add a second dish, in addition to my existing dish for Freesat, to access only Cosmote. I may prefer this solution, as a larger multi-satellite dish could in theory create an issue with my council. Will a 60 cm dish be sufficient to link to Eutelsat 9b, or will I need a larger dish? I am especially interested in [USER=198717]@mariust5[/USER] opinion as he wrote that he has installed several of these. [USER=404768]@LeBelge[/USER] Do you know what Greek channels are available for free (no subscription) through satellite reception? My building's roof has 4 dishes from 4 different leaseholders, including me. And they all seem to serve Freesat/Sky services. The white dish (not mine) is 60 cm in diameter. What is the maximum number of outputs that an LNB can have? It may make sense to consolidate some of these to one or two dishes. Is there any disadvantage in doing so? Alternatively, it make sense to have a communal system. Thanks, Marco [ATTACH type="full" alt="126999"]126999[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
