    I have a sky basic contract and want to pick up free german RTL for the formula 1.

    I believe if I get an 80cm dish, I can fit a multi lnb bracket which will allow me to pick up the 2 different satellites required off the one dish.
    Now, my question is, can RTL be tuned in on an old basic sky box or do I need to buy a non sky receiver.

    Sky dishes aren't suitable for multi lnb's.

    Get another dish and cheap fta box to pick up RTL,it's easy to set up as 19e is one of the easiest satellites to find.

    If you're using your skybox for sky tv then it's useless for German tv.

    Even a cheap kit from Dunnes Stores or B&Q would do you,if you're worried about sticking extra dishes on the house remember it can be mounted at ground level so long as it has a clear line of sight.

    I dont want to stick up 2 dishes. I dont mind buying a larger dish as it seems this will carry the multi lnb bracket.
    I dont want to use the box that is currently used for sky but I have an old (spare) sky box. Will this pick up RTL by simply entering the various codes to tune in the channel?
