Humax Freesat PVR

Technique

I currently have a Humax Freesat PVR box pointing at Astra 28.2E. I would like to go down the motorised dish route, primarily for live football.

I believe that this box is Diseqc compatible, can anyone confirm this? I would probably need a subscription to Cyfra, Al Jazeera or Sky Italia, would this work with this box?

Finally, what size of dish would be ideal (I'm in Donegal)?

Thanks.

80cm will do all of above

Thanks for the helpful information.

What about channels that require a card?

You will need to buy a official card probally another receiver too ...

Depends on the package and encryption, the Humax HDR has a ci slot so some packages are avalable as a cam and card and may well work with it.
