can you get freesat with a normal satellite receiver

[chrisgolf]

I was wondering, I've got an 80cm dish and a technomate TM-9100, can I get the freesat channels or do I need a special receiver and card to get them?

cheers

Hi Devilfish
I am like Hejira on this i bought a humax foxsat simple for bbc hd and itv hd box works a treat and like Hejira said you can scan for none freesat sites. To answer your question you could get some freesat sites but not the hd ones if i am wrong somebody willl quickly tell me.

Watch out when you buy a FreeSat decoder - RTE, TV3, TG4 and Channel 6 will be carried on new DTT in 2009 BUT it will be MPEG4 not MPEG2 which most boxes are currently

Freesat with normal satellite box

Hello, I recently bought an Ip-Box 910HD, so I don't want to buy a second receiver just to watch freesat plus I live in nothern Greece so I don't know if they would sell one to me, but I still would like to get BBC TV and radio. Do you think this would be possible with my set-up, as these chanels are free to air I believe, or am I missig some point?

have you scanned 28.8E..? they are FTA, you will pick them up

Astra 28.8E

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

To pick up only free to air channels whilst searching on your non freesat receiver be sure to scan fta only as you wont clear anything else...

If you want a very cheap freesat with the option of expansion then obtain a cheap dbox insert a sat image, scan for fta on astra 28 and sit back and enjoy.
I have installed lots of these in local houses for the elderly and they are well satisfied.
