My great Aunt is interested in all things Greek, and as she's not too well and won't be able to go over there this year I'm thinking of installing a simple system for her to watch the Digea and ERT channels on 3.1°E.
I'm just thinking a zone 2 minidish for minimal impact on the front of the house. It should be plently big enough for a decent amount of rain fade wiggle room on the three transponders with their QPSK and 3/5 FEC, especially a bit further to the East of here in Nottinghamshire (the same size works fine over here). Might even whack an LNB on the side for a couple of the FTA channels from Cosmote on 9°E.
The only thing I'm no sure of is what would be a decent receiver to get. I'm after something for a decent price that's nice and simple to use and will cope with BISS (including "forcing" BISS on the ERT channels with their lack of CAID). A straightforward EPG would be nice, but I've no need of recording facility.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
