Hi all, first of al apologies if this is in the wrong section!! I am in the process of moving house and considering installing a satellite solution rather than the cable one in my current place. however I am unsure on what to go for and would appreciate some advice, I will be floodwiring the new house with CAT6 & coax to a central comms cabinet and here's what Im looking at achieving: The ability to watch different PPV channels in different rooms (Lounge, bedroom1, cinema/play room) The ability to watch HD channels The ability to watch 3pm kick offs on a saturday The ability to record channels Is this achievable with 1 satellite dish? do I need mulitpple boxes? am I beeter just subcribing to s*y Also I have been looking at this dish but not sure if it will be suitable for any solution proposed: TechniSat Multytenne 4 Sats On 1 Dish No Motor Needed | eBay Thanks
The ability to watch different PPV channels in different rooms (Lounge, bedroom1, cinema/play room) you will need some kind of multiroom subscription. The ability to watch HD channels you will need a HD receiver such as Dreambox 800, Vu+ The ability to watch 3pm kick offs on a saturday not allowed in the UK but a multisat cardshare can open the channels that the games show on. The ability to record channels you will need a HDD connected to the sat receiver, twin tuner such as on the Vu+duo will allow you to watch one channel while recording another. Is this achievable with 1 satellite dish? do I need mulitpple boxes? am I beeter just subcribing to s*y you will need a motorised dish to get all the available satellites depending on your location. you will need multiple boxes. its a matter of choice whether or not sly is better for you. Also I have been looking at this dish but not sure if it will be suitable for any solution proposed: TechniSat Multytenne 4 Sats On 1 Dish No Motor Needed | with that dish you would be limited to just 4 satellites, a motorised kit would get you a lot more.
popeye sums it up perfectly. did a check recently on the amount of gear i bought over the last few years and without a doubt sky would have been cheaper. however i did it for the fun and had the time to spend at it
