Switching to Satellite Information

Information

I thought i would but the basic Satellite Information Here, (i'll keep with in the rules so any more information you can PM)

Basically Satellite is run through a dish, (i know state the obviously but hey) And a satellite reciever which is similar to cable, to get the most out of a satellite Reciever your best going for a linux model, there are, of course a few brands on the market the most common of which being Dreambox and more highly common Dreambox Clones.

The first thing you must remember is Satellite is a hobby where as cable was viewed as Free TV.

Now to get the most out of satellite you will need to CardShare (not to be discussed here to use google) Which can be done with either having a card or using a Payserver..

Right Firstly

Equipment
-Dish
-20M Cable
-LNB
-2 F-Connectors
-Internet Connection (Linux Box and CardSharing)
-Satellite Reciever

*The dish can be any size above 45CM, for just sky a mini dish will be fine, however i would highly reconmend a motorised system as they have more benifits as you can get satellite from all of europe

**For a basic linux Satellite Reciever i would go for the DM500S Around ?64.66 Delivered, or the DM800 (the HD Reciever)for around ?209.99 Delivered..

***If buying a motorised dish look out for a motorised package deal as it will have everything such as F-connectors, Cable, LNB Ect.


Pro's
- Most European Satellite Available (motorised dish) = 5000 Channels
-Most 3PM Football
-Cheap even when using a payserver
-Low set-up cost
-Easy to maintain

Con's
-Have to maintain
-Takes a while to get your head around
