    Hi,

    I currently have a single sat set up (80cm dish) with LNBs pointing to Astra 1 (19e) and 2 (28e). Receiver is vu+ Solo 2. As I need to send the installer back on the roof (hardware fault), I am thinking of getting a 3rd LNB installed pointing to HotBird 13e to receive BIS TV. Does anyone know:

    1. What is needed to receive BIS on the Solo 2? (Obviously I intend to subscribe and pay the monthly sub). Once subscribed, BIS TV will send a (VIACCESS) viewing card. Can I just insert this card in the Solo 2, or will I need to buy some additional equipment?

    2. Anyone has any opinion of the Inverto Single Monoblock LNB or equivalent (2 LNB in single block to get sats 6 deg apart such as Astra 1 and HB 13e.

    Thanks,
    Mr_D

    Not too sure about bis tv but avoid mono blocks they work in continental europe a waste of time here, u should get a separate lnb for all birds needed and a slider bar that the lnbs can be moved across.
