Polsat sports extra is on 11.158V not 11.115V.

You may be able to get it, I can get it on my Technomate.

Although you can get Polsat at the moment - there is no guarantee that you will get it tomorrow.

I think you will need to download an emulator/plugin - don't know much about PCI cards but they are popular for live feeds as they can unscramble 4:2:2 encryption.

If you want specific packages/channels then you need an official subscription.

i think the easiest plugin ti use is Vplug although not the fastest it is regularly updated and you will also need a softcam.key file

The Business Channel on 42º East has been showing SPL Saturday 3PM games recently and it is FTA, the only problem is that I doubt that your Minidish would be sufficient for a signal. I can pick it up on a 90CM dish in East Ayrshire but I think I would struggle with anything smaller.

I can get it OK on my zone 1 minidish down here 12133V , no problem

The footprint shows the signal to be huge all over the UK, so in theory any minidish correct for its redion should pick it up.

Hi Robbo, I have a zone 2 minidish (I think about 60CM?) as well as my motorised 90CM dish. I seem to remember when I first started out experimenting with my TM1500 (before I got the 90CM dish) getting a pixelated reception on 42 East in decent weather but lost all signal when it rained.

Reading chazkelly1985's other posts it looks like he's getting a motorised dish anyway so if he can get a decent signal from his minidish then good.

I lose everything if it rains really hard, including 28E.

Light rain, no problem on 42E,28E,19E and 13E.

Medium rain -pixellation, occasional.

In the middle of motorising my 90cm instead.
