MOTORISED RECEIVERS & SYSTEMS
If you want more Channels than Sky has to offer, there are hundreds of Channels available from Satellites from across Europe, broadcasting in a number of different languages. For this purpose Sky system will only get you so far, it’s fine for Astra 2 and Eurobird, but! the standard 45cm mini dish is to small to receive other satellites. A bigger dish pointed in the right direction combined with a digibox will get you a selection of channels from Hotbird at 13 degree Eor Astra 1, 19.2bDegreesE.
However, the Sky Digibox is not equipped to receive encrypted channels from other than those available on Sky and is limited to receiving channels with symbol rates of either 22000 or 27500. A much more flexible alternative is
a free-to-air receiver that’s capable of receiving unencrypted channels and costs less.
