saorview help

ciaran25

I have a digital satellite receiver and there is an old satellite dish on the house. I am hoping to pick up the free to air satellite channels. can anyone tell me how to point the dish in the right direction or if I should replace a dish that has some rust on it. I am located in north Tipperary on the coast of lough derg.

This doesn't have anything to do with Saorview, perhaps the Satellite forum would be the place?

Hi Ciaran and welcome to boards. As already mentioned Saorview uses a conventional rooftop aerial and has nothing to do with FTA satellites. An existing satellite dish should be pointing at the correct satellites already for FTA UK channels. Sky and FTA (BBC,ITV etc) are on the same satellites. Look here for more info on Saorview

The dish may already be pointing at the correct satellite position for the FTA sat channels - http://www.lyngsat.com/Eutelsat-28A-and-Astra-2A-2E-2F.html

What sat receiver are you using?

The Irish channels won't be available with a FTA sat receiver.
