I live in South Norfolk in the East of England and I’d like to get TDTSat (Spanish TV) in my house. I’m really unsure though as to what equipment I’ll need to receive it. I currently have TNTSat at Astra 19.2E installed. I have a 45cm dish and it picks up all channels with excellent reception...

I got the box working about half an hour ago. The software on my box was up to date and the viewing card had been activated so the only advice I could find that might result in my box working was to leave the box tuned in to a scrambled channel for a maximum of two hours which resets the...

I bought the box preowned from eBay. The seller was also selling a TNTSat card with it but it was due to expire before I would be able to get someone to realign my dish to 19.2E so I purchased another one instead from eBay brand new from France. On my EPG, all the TNTSat channels are first. I've...

I bought a separate card which had not been activated. It activated on 1/5/18 when I first set up the box and inserted the viewing card. For some reason, I'm not able to pick up M6 Boutique even after scanning twice. I don't know how to tune into it manually as all the menus are in French. Can a...

After some searching around on the box, I stumbled upon droits (rights) as 4wd suggested. It appears that my card is activated as of yesterday so the card is not the issue. I think therefore you must be right that the box needs to do a software update and then everything will be up and running...

I haven't been able to find the expiration date for the card. However, I'm now even more convinced that the viewing card is the issue because I can receive Canal+ at this moment because it's unencrypted. Also, I apologise if there are a bunch of responses to this thread that say the same thing...

I'm pretty sure this card is the latest version but I'm not certain. I honestly have no idea how to find out the expiration date as the box is in French and can't be changed to English. Nonetheless, I shall give it a go.

Images of the card should be attached in this response but let me know if they aren't. I'm pretty sure the viewing card is the latest version but I'm not certain.

I bought a TNTSat viewing card from France a few months ago and yesterday had my dish realigned to 19.2E. Upon putting the viewing card into my TNTSat box (Sagemcom DTR 94160S HD) and attempting to watch the TNTSat channels, a message comes up on my box which says "Le terminal n'est pas...

I've bought a French receiver and a TNTSat viewing card that would allow me to receive TNTSat but my question is whether or not a standard Sky dish will allow me to receive the channels or whether I would need to purchase a bigger dish? From what I've read, since I'm in the south of England (I'm...

Okay, are there any particular dishes you would recommend? What other equipment would I need?

Thank you. What size dish do you think I would need to be able to receive Hotbird and Astra both at the same time?

Hi, I would like to align my Sky dish to Hotbird 13E but I'm not sure how to do this. Do I need a meter? Do I need separate equipment to align the dish? Would I be able to use the one dish to receive Hotbird and Astra? I would be very thankful for any and all help provided.

I've heard a regular Sky dish can receive Hotbird in certain areas, is this true? If it is then do you think I would be able to receive it with a standard Sky dish in South Norfolk?

Either 26E or 30.5E. What dish would you recommend for receiving Arabic channels in South Norfolk? What satellite or satellites carry Arabic channels that you think I would be able to receive in my area? I'm really new to the whole business of satellites so sorry if I seem rather uneducated.
