Newbie Here Polish Satellite in UK, Openbox etc... (Total Newb!)

[Johnny B]

Hi all,

I have an ex smart TV, i.e the network adapter is not working anymore. I also have a Polish partner, and am looking to install Polish "Freesat", if it exists.

I've installed a generic UK satellite dish at my caravan, so think I can manage it myself, but...

I can't work out what I need, where to point it etc...

I'd also like to regain "smart" tv, so I could play movies from a USB stick/youtube etc.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Hi JB - welcome to the forum.

The Polish channels are mainly carried on Hotbird 13E. There are lots of free ones, many fairly low budget and a selection of pay services. Have a look at the satsklep.pl website - they sell NC+ subscriptions. I think the cams used are the new CI+ format so you need to watch which receiver you use.

Analoguesat is correct regarding nc+ CI+ module.

I had in the past the 2849ST receiver and it was excellent
The Sagemcom is the latest model.

A dish on 13e 60cm should be more than enough and a compatible receiver for nc+ would be an option, cards are pretty cheap of satskelp. I’ve had a couple of cyfra+ cards from them in the past.
