Polish TV

Michael O Leary

Hi all,

I want to get Polish TV in the house. What do I need to do. I do not have a satellite and only have the NTL basic package.

Regards,

Michael

you'll need an 80cm dish pointed at 13e hotbird and a satellite receiver (not a sky box). if you want polsat or c+ poland you will need a subscription card and a receiver that the card can be used in. there are a few free channels on 7e eutelsat but more on 13e

Thanks, so tell me what I need to do. Where do I get a dish and receiver and subscription card? How do I install it? Can I just ring someone and get them to do it for me?

Regards,

Michael

so
the thing is that polish radio and tv regulation doesn't give permission to watch most of the polish channels outside Poland
but becouse companies ( cyfra +, polsat ) want to get better incomes they are selling it to polish people living abroad. U get contract from cyfra+ let say and one of point says that u can't use it outside Poland.

so u need to be registrated in Poland and have polish adress used for correspondency etc.

then u can buy receiver , card , etc - it look like official way is mission impossible for you.

best way to watch some programs

Sound man. Thanks.

13 deg east is the main satellite for Polish TV/radio (some stuff on 19 east too but most of it duplicated on 13 east)

Quite a few Polish channels are FTA but the better ones all require a sub (having said that a sub to Polsat is only a fraction of the cost of what us monolingual English speakers have to pay if we want $ky :mad: )

There are satellite installers advertising in magazines like Glosik who do FTA and Polsat systems

Alternatively one can subscribe to Polsat from an address in Poland and then take the reciever/dish/card abroad (Ive seen Polsat branded dishes on houses in Belfast but quite frankly Id imagine the owners would have been better leaving the dish (but maybe take the LNB) in Poland and buying an 80cm dish cheap in somewhere like Maplin

Trying to get an 80cm dish in ones flight luggage is probably expensive/awkward

this info give directions to the same kind of people I mentioned about in first post and it was removed, so this link above shouldn't be here as well.

Ulsterman 1690

Nothing wrong with linking to a magazine website surely.

Glosik (free magazine aimed at Polish expat community in Ireland/Northern Ireland) is widely available and the items/services advertised therin are perfectly legal (well as far as I can make out not being a Polish speaker)

There are some quite good Polish channels free, but the main one most people want seem to be on the Cyfra+ susbscription.
Many people in Limerick have the legal Polish subscription, and if there is nothing to watch, there is always the Polish Pub in Henry St.

teetotaller

it is illegal to sell polsat or whatever outside polish borders, so installers can't have original legal cards.
u gave link to forum where u can find people who sell illegal cards and are thiefts

that's why it should be removed - I was told the same by Hagar.

Hagar

Technically you have a legal right to view any channel that any other EU Citizen can view. Service providers try to restrict your rights in line with their marketing rights but they legally can't and they all know it. That is why most will have the good sense to sell their product/service to anyone who "seems" to comply with their marketing agreements. We can discuss such arrangements here as the supplier is paid in full for his services. Nobody is being defrauded of anything. Counterfeit cards are a whole different matter and are illegal in all EU states.

teetotaller

it is more tricky than it looks like

it is good business for companies that provide paid channels, but polish law says, that u need to pay tv licence if want to watch polish tv. and u can't pay tv licence if u don't have polish adress and the round is closing.

of course u can gat few free channels on astra, eutelsat, hotbird. but they are private tv stations and are not under public tv regulations

Ulsterman 1690

Ummm Polish law can say what it pretty much well likes. When one goes outside the borders of Poland it doesnt apply. I cant imagine them interrogating returning expats over their TV viewing habits even if they have been trying to shaft them with things like double taxation

watty

The BBC won't accept TV licence payments from outside UK either. (Strangely some people from UK living in Spain think they ought to pay UK tV licence).

If you watching Polish TV or UK TV in Ireland, you pay only the Irish TV licence. The Netherlands have a Annual paid basic TV viewing card for Satellite. You can get it here via a Dutch shop (Netherlands Social Security Number Required). Irish TV licence needed.

Because Switzerland is NOT in EU, they can charge for a viewing card (like Dutch Scheme), but only for Swiss Citizens, but will send it directly to Ireland. Irish TV licence required. The Dutch card as they are in EU, has to be for ANY resident of any EU nationality. Like the UK FTV card they won't post it abroad directly.

There are loads of the cyfra + & polsat branded dishes all over the place here in Wexford town.

so.... can u tell me why do they have original cyfra+ and polsat dishes if they don't have official subscriptions? can u get just a dish without sub?

SatelliteServie

Because they have illegal cyfra+ card .. Cost is 180€ for card and 1 year watching this TV all chanels like HBO HBO2 Discovery.

Note. Only information about legal cards is allowed. Other information can be a criminal offence.

I found when searching for viewing cards for other european countries, that suppliers can charge huge money, I have a total tv card for 16e.

Some suppliers where charging between 500 + euro, but i managed to find the total tv website and and get a sub for 120 euro for the year, even though im irish they still gave me a subscription.

I advise doing the same with other packages

Just searching on this myself too, Seems you have the total tv international package. Any one in the EU can get that, but there's no sport on it. Its all regional stuff connected with the relevant countries.

On lyngsat it shows the total tv package as having sports klub serbia and eurosport but these channels aren't listed on the total tv site as far as I can see so this must be for the international package only. Anyone know the link to the full package site? They probably won't post abroad anyway.

http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/total.html

Also shows the sports as available in hd.

Theres a few versions of total tv, for the former yugoslavian countries. In all fairness its quite expensive for what you get. But the 120€ a year subscription is just an international version for ex pats living around Europe.

This is the Serbian version line up:

Forget that so. The polish setup is better.

I'm going to try and get jsc sports on 7.3w on a 1.5m dish that I got for nothing last year. Maybe I'm wasting my time but I have the sub already and I reckon it's worth a shot.

snaps

Even if you did get a signal on 7.3. it would suffer terribly in bad weather. Also with total tv you need a total tv receiver.

becher

think you can only get AJS 1-4 and HD 1-6, but you get all the EPL matches.
only have to upgrade your AJS Card to Full Package.

I got the box, card and including delivery for 220euro.

I get everything tv 1000, discovery, history, mtv adria, history and most of the sports channels about 100 channels in all, thats the serbian card.

The supplier is based in dublin, I have mine a year next month.
