      A motorised dish won't suddenly make the HD channels work on 28 east but cable is a possible option

        I didn't say it would that's pretty obvious that's why I asked about a motorised dish etc

          You did mention cable or motorised for HD in a previous post, thus implying that either would bring you this glorious HD, when only cable might

            on a motorised system you spend more time remembering what you wanted and where was it on,not had the time to go through each sat to see whats on and in english.

              Spot on. It took me ages to set up a 4 sat channel list that has a favorite for channels broadcasting with English audio never mind getting it set up for a motor

                Hi Setting up a motor is a piece of cake although i would never put a motor on a chimney..too risky and much hassles especially in bad weather. Having a motor is what satellites are all about in my opinion. So much to see and enjoy for all tastes.

                Regards

                  Motors are great fun for searching & hunting stuff down, it's not always about the catch, but more the chase that makes it feel good.

                    I love the sat game.....mainly for the sports....especially for the soccer in HD......& you get to choose which game you want to watch at the weekend...follow your own team
                    every Sat-day or Sunday....... watched every game this season (spurs) some i wish i would have missed

                    Yeah maybe in German or Dutch or another language but it beats listening to Michael Owen or Gary Neville

                      Hi Spot on.. its the thrill of finding those feeds that nobody knows about etc. I have been hooked on it for more than 25 years and still love it.

                      Regards.

                        I'm another in agreement that if it's mainly sports it has to be a motor. I'm considering sticking a motor on instead of my fixed dish multi sat this summer as I've hardly used the euro sats in the past 6 months or so. Much more to be had free and with biss further afield than the main euro sats.

                            Hi most do a lot of reading & do it themselves.....but not mounted on a chimney ..... mount it on a south facing wall.....not all that hard to do

                            look at it this way if the cable side disappears....(yes cheaper & easier) where next & more layout for another box IPTV or the likes

                            The sat side has been around for many years & I don't see it going anywhere in the near future (lets call it an investment) that will last a lot longer

                            Just food for thought.....& you don't think Mr B******n is sat there thinking help yourself to my FREE TV........its ok i will provide it for free for you .

                                Hi Shame that i live in London otherwise i would have given you a hand. Problem you may have is that fitters may charge a lot if its fitted on a chimney due to risks etc. Do you have a balcony where a floor mounted motor/dish may be installed??... I have installed a few of these over the years.

                                Regards.
