Dreambox Help Please

[gpr257806]

Ok I am very new to all of this so hopefully someone will be able to help me, just got a dreambox 500, I have got a 24 hours trial with a pay server.

I bought the Ultimate package which gets me all channels I believe, now I can get sky premiere 1 and +1 but no other movie channels, I cannot get any sky sports channels either apart from Man U and Liverpool TV, should I be able to get all of the channels? In the top right hand corner in the CCcam section the ND box is yellow but on the ones I can get are green. How do I get the channels to work? I just have a standard sky dish, I am also wanting the Sky Italia to watch the football but they also won't come on, not many channels will, can anyone please advice me as I have emailed the company but not got back to me and time is running out. The frist two signal strengths are brilliant, they are 86% and 92%, not sure what they mean though? Thanks in advance

Check you have the latest channel list or do a fresh scan, contact the server operator to check what channels are available. We can't help with server specifics on this site.

Thanks very much for the reply, i can now get all of the sky channels but not sky italia, is that due to my dish do you think not being in the correct position? Would i need a motorised dish? Thanks

If your dish is fixed, you can only watch channels from the satellite(s) it's actually pointing at If you want to watch other satellites, you need either a multi lnb dish, or better still, a motorised one.

Thanks for the reply, i thought i might need a motorised one, that would do the job? All i am wanting is to watch the sky channels and to get sky italia for the premier league

Would this one work http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Maximum-E-85-M...item3cb5deb9dd

Would this one work Maximum E-85 Multi Focus Satellite Dish 5 LNB Holders on eBay (end time 07-Apr-11 18:43:15 BST)

Possibly, it depends on which satellite Sky Italia is on, I think it may be Hotbird, check on KingofSat website. If it is Hotbird, which is at 13 east, then the lnbs would have to be positioned accurately to acheive the 15 degree spread. No doubt others can confirm if this dish is suitable for your needs.

Sky It is on Hotbird 13e, so you would not need 5 LNB's just 2. You could use 4 LNB's with a 4 way Diseqc switch which would be relatively easy and cheap to setup.
