High Definition(HD) satellite receiver (RX)

No Saorsat approved receivers yet.

At this point in time the potential receivers are not an issue as any DVB-S2 receiver would work apart from Sky boxes. The real issue is that the Ka band LNB needed to pick up Saorsat is not on the market - yet.

At some undefined point in the future Ka band LNBs will come on the market in Ireland at least.

Thanks again folks :cool:

Would these LNB's pick up the KA-Band signal from 9°e?
KA/KU Band LNB from ebay US

And if so, has anyone relatives/friends from the us coming home soon?:D

No, they're wholly ill-suited to reception of Saorsat, even for experimental purposes. If you're interested in test transmission and can't wait for proper Ka-LNBFs to arrive, then the Hughesnet LNBs are the cheapest and most suitable of what's currently available.

Thanks for advice, Apogee.
Will wait then 'til Ka-band Lnbs become widely available.
