    Hi lads, thank you for your time and your answers.
    I just bought an amiko combo and plugged it to the aerial of my appartment. I though that I would get some more channels but only the standard ones appeared. I know i should buy a dish but... Would it be possible with my current equipment (amiko mini combo and normal aerial) be able to watch something else?

    9 channels sounds about right if you don't have a satellite feed. How were you expecting to get the channels without a dish?

    Thank you for your answers.
    Is there any option to avoid the installation of a satellite dish? I plan to move from this place in 6 months and dont know if there are any other options.
    Sorry about my questions. They are pretty basic but I have been trying to find the answers by myself.

    No, you need a dish to receive satellite channels.

    Has the apartment block only got an aerial and no dish?

    Yeah, just aerial. I just was wondering about buying any other kind of indoor device to receive more channels.

    In addition to this... what is the best way to get the spanish sat channels?

    Ok I have been checking... I found a website with the list of channels of each satellite. Thanks for your help!

    An aerial is required for Saorview.
