Bulgarian TV

T-Square

Hi,

I have an old sky satellite dish, which now plugs into a freesat receiver, instead of the sky box.

But after tuning, I don't have any Bulgarian TV, how do I set it up, so I get the oul Bulgarian stuff for the mother in law?

Cheers,

Wrong thread, maybe mods could move.

Your satellite dish will not receive any bulgarian tv from the 28 deg East (Sky TV) position.

You will have to move the dish to either the 36 deg. East (Hellas) or 16 deg East (Eutelsat W2) position. Consult a professional is you can't do it yourself.
Also the freesat receiver is not really suitable, a free-to-air would be better.

What do I do now?

I would like to keep the channels I have, e.g. fiver, itv, etc, the usual freesat stuff.

So do I pay a lad to put a another lnb on the dish pointed at the BG stuff?

Or does the dish need to move, so I receive the BG stuff exclusively, losing freesat as I know it.

Are we heading into Diseq territory, or a different type of dish perhaps, one that can point at two directions at once?

Cheers!

You should speak to a professional, such as Tony.

DiSEqC on one dish may be an option.

You should post over in the Foreign Satellite forum, they're pretty good at that stuff.
