Advice on setup

Auvers · 2009-07-07 09:20:20

due to me having a Spanish wife and dumping UPC for Sky, so I need some advice on what equipment do I need to get Sky digital & as many FTA Spanish TV stations (especially Telemadrid) as possible. Can anyone give me some to a newbie about a DIY setup, I would like just one Satellite dish I suppose that means a 80cm dish…

Can anyone give me some to a newbie about a DIY setup, I would like just one Satellite dish I suppose that means a 80cm dish and two LNBs but will this work with Sky digital?

Yes. Are the required Spanish channels broadcast from "Hot Bird" or Astra-1 ?
Anyway, you need something like in this picture:

Sky Digibox connected to the Astra-2 LNB (28.2) and a FTA receiver connected to the other LNB for 19.2 or 13.0.
