[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 757146, member: 240839"] Portuguese TV can be received quite easily in the UK :D Its broadcast on Hispasat at 30 degrees west. [COLOR="#FF0000"]1) Is there anyway to get the decoding box in the UK or will I have to get it shipped from portugal? [/COLOR] Best to get the correct one from Portugal as Zon uses Nagravision 3 encryption which means the card is paired to the box. [COLOR="#FF0000"]2) what is the ball park cost of setting up a dish that will grab a signal from hispasat that the box can decode? [/COLOR] A standard 80cm dish is fine for Hispasat in your location. A DIY Install would cost you about £50. [COLOR="#FF0000"]3) Does anyone know of a supplier in my area that could help?[/COLOR] Try PMing Rick the moderator [COLOR="#FF0000"]4) Would UK terrestrial Free Sat work with the setup required for Portuguese telly?[/COLOR] Different satellites. Uk stuff is on 28.2e, Portuguese stuff is on 30w, so you either need 2 dishes or motorised. I don't think the UK freesat boxes support DISEqC control so it wouldn't be able to switch between the 2 dishes. If you can get the stuff from Portugal through family i would do as if you go through a non Portuguese supplier you will get ripped off. Nano [/QUOTE]
