Hi london-guy. Welcome to the forum :welc1:

Nilesat from the UK is possible, but you would need a very large dish.

Some very high quality dishes of around 1.5m diameter might scrape a few channels, but I think I'm right in saying that if you want any kind of reliable signal, then a 2.4m dish would probably be more in order. Something like the Andrews/Channel Master with matching feed horn. The Andrews 1.8m will drag many of the channels in much of the time, but 2.4m will do a good job.

Some of the other mods may have other reports for the UK, but that's a good starting point.

You wouldn't want to motorise a dish that large really. Buy another small motorised dish to go alongside it.

The Technomate is a good little receiver, but you may want something more advanced like the Dreambox 7020.

You total bill for this little lot isn't going to come cheap though, and you will probably want to have it professionally installed.

thanks BGonaSTICK i think 1.80 and 2.40 is too much in london i dont think they will allow me to put such a big dish in here i have sent an email to one of the websites satellitesuperstore.co.uk they said with 1.20 cms channel mastyer andrew and lnb titnuim 0.2 i would get 90% of the channels do you think thye are telling the truth or just they want to sell their goods
as for the receiver which receive you recomended one they i cant watch tps.digital plus.premiere etc
do you know anything about sharing the programme yopu have to have internet access for and a dish to hack into channels
thank you so much

Satellite Superstore are usually pretty good, but I think they've got it wrong here.

In my opinion, a 1.8m Andrews dish will get you most of what's there, but not all. A 2.4m will buy you reliable reception. Both of these dishes are huge though and not suitable for wall mounting.

My Triax 1.1m dish only gets one or two channels from Nilesat on the very best of reception days, and that's a very broken picture.

Recommending receivers is tricky, but I think that a Technomate TM-1500 CI+ with a T-Rex 4.5 cam and K3 card will give you TPS (but not multivision) Canal + France and Premiere.

As always, be aware that any hack can dissappear at any time.

Card sharing is a specialist subject. We can provide some basic info if required. If you mean having online access to a key-server, that's a different matter. We can help you set that up to if you want, but it's very unreliable.

Hi London-guy,

Do you know which channels you want to get from Nilesat?

Looking at the transmission footprint for Nilesat, I would be suprised if you could get very many channels at all irespective of dish size.

london-guy · 31-08-06, 08:28 PM

thanx guys

for helping if i can get melody hits and showtime tyhat would be nice because when i was in Morocco i was subscribed to showtime but it looks like its a hard job getting them here

so it would be better to stick to what i can get and i will try to get 1.30 04 1.50 if its allright with the local authorities

ops: i live in richmound london

This is what I'm getting here with a 125cm Gibertini in this weather.
I have had several horizontal transponders in good weather, but not reliably.

dear Jimdefruit i read you have a channel master 1.2 is it any good do you receive Nilesat with it/ according to www.satellitesuperstore.com they are a high gain dish is it really?
dear Lancelot thank you so much for the channels list i got it it was fab but sad the signal is not reliable wish it was easy to get 1.80 in uk
can i get 1.50 satellite dish or 1.40 ik uk london
thank you guys

$ly · 31-08-06, 10:21 PM

The channel list you see IS reliable in all weathers from here.
It's just the horizontal transponder channels which are not listed that come and go

You can get a 1.5mtr version of my dish from these guys in Bristol.
