Stejc Thanks for all the info. That's very helpful. I'll be getting D+ when I go to Spain next week.

Hi I need someone to supply and install a dish and receiver. The cabling is already in place and working. Looking to pick up Spanish FTA channels on Astra. If you are interested please PM me or send a message to: REMOVED Thanks Patrick

thanks to you both. i saw some prices quoted at over a thousand pounds which i thought was a joke! with regards to buying the set in spain, do you know how long the card remains active for? do D+ replace the cards during the year?

Thanks for all the info posted above. I am looking to buy a Digital + package soon as I have an address and bank account in Spain and my wife (Gallega!) has her DNI card ... is that the same as an NIF? My Sky minidish used to pick up D+ channels on my Technomate 1500 receiver (when Nagra was...

hi toepoke can you tell me how/where you bought your package? i am hoping to set this up at home in the UK and was going to order the package in spain then ship it over as i have an address there and bank account. if i could do it from here and it wasn't too much more expensive that would be...

Thanks for all the advice. Will look into these options further and take it from there.

I have just moved house and inherited a Sky dish installed at the back of the house. In my last place I also had a Sky dish which I connected to a Technomate receiver. I manually moved the dish to 19.2 so that I could pick up FTA Spanish channels. My question now is whether I can have both...

Yes it's patched and currently getting around 40 channels in Spanish.

I think it was 'Cuatro'. Will look out for them and let you know.

Thanks Rolf and Robbie for all your help. Had another re-jig of the equipment this evening and switched the dish around from left to right. Lots of drilling and mess but after fixing the dish and a few minor adjustments the signal started coming through. Currently watching the Simpsons in...

Woohoo! Had another re-jig of the equipment this evening and switched the dish around from left to right. Lots of drilling and mess but after fixing the dish and a few minor adjustments the signal started coming through. Currently watching the Simpsons in Spanish. Excellent. Thanks for all...

Thanks for the feedback. I had a go at the weekend and found that the dish would not move sufficiently (to the left as I look at it) due to the bay window next to it! Back to the drawing board for now. I think I'll have to re-locate the dish or maybe find a new mount than will allow me to have...

Yes. To the left as I look at the front of the dish. I also tried to the right and had no joy. For clarification, should it be 10 degrees to the left? Thanks Patrick

once again thanks for all the information robbo. i will play around with the system this weekend. if i get it going my next step would be to buy a nagravision cam and try to access spanish channels via digial + etc. not sure if the minidish would handle that or if i'd need a bigger one...
