Hi all, I´m new here so your legendary patience is to be tested again, I´ll give as much detail as I have, In south Finland I have a fixed dish 78cm top to bottom, 70cm side to side, with an Alps universal LNB lo: 9.75/10.60 Ghz. I use a Digiality vc-ci 104 reciever with Canal digital card, which works fine. I would like more channels from other satellites while keeping Canal too. My reciever has I believe 2 card readers (conax and viacess) it also has 2 additional CA module slots.How easy or difficult is it to get max channels from what I have dish and box remaining the same. Here is the only info I could find on my reciever(which is not in english) http://www.sat-receiver-world.com/tr...04-silver.html

Welcome to the forum aguinness

We do this because we enjoy it - it's not something that tries our patience - honestly!

If we found it a pain in the butt, we wouldn't do it. Sometimes we do have a few days off though

I take it that your receiver was supplied as part of your Canal package? If so, it might have been knobbled, or otherwise de-activated in some way. Some providers will do this with freebie equipment.

If that is not the case (and the only way to really prove it is to try it, unless you can find someone else who has done it) then adding either a Diablo CAM or a T-Rex 4.6 supermodule CAM would be the way to add most channels. You could also add to that a card or two, such as the X ONE card. That would give you Premiere, Digital+, TPS, ABSat, ART/Arabesque, TV CABO and a few other bits.

You would also have to motorise your dish somehow of course, and I'm only guessing that you would be able to physically receive all those satellites on your 70cm dish.

Regards,

STICK

Thanks for your reply Stick, The reciever didn´t come from Canal it was bought seperatly so everything should work. I´m not thinking of motorising the dish at the moment, I was thinking along the lines of different lnb´s cards and cam´s at the moment, but don´t know where to start.

Good, your receiver should be OK then.

Multi-LNB will probably need a larger dish if you're going to have any success, and certainly won't give you 'max channels' as you put it

Read a little, ask a little. You'll be surprised how quickly you'll pick it up
