[QUOTE="ClickSte, post: 967329, member: 408272"] Hi, Our Sky Contract is up later in the year and we've decided that rather than keeping this going I'd like to go FTA, but I'm also interesting in receiving services from 19.2 East (I'm learning German at the moment so this would be really useful, I also gather that some foreign language channels allow you to change the audio feed to 'original language' so this could be good for some of the US Imports that aren't usually available FTA in the UK. I've been doing some research on this, I'd gather I'd need to get a bigger dish, an additional LNB, a DiSEqC and a new receiver that supports DiSEqC so I can in scan in both sets of satellites at the same time. I'm assuming that the two orbital positions are too far apart to use any kind of monoblock device? (please correct me if I'm wrong!) I've considered getting a Freesat Box, just to have the UK channels in some kind of logical order (and also to retain the 7 day epg and recording etc) but can't see if any of the newer boxes support DiSEqC, otherwise I've seen some good reviews of the Tecnomate boxes. My other concern would be that having to flip between non-Freesat and Freesat mode would be quite tiresome after a while, when it would be nice to be able to just flip between channels. Any advice would be gratefully received, and also any receiver recommendations! Apologies to be asking to many questions, and thanks again! [/QUOTE]
