Spanish channels on hotbird
At the moment there is only tve 24 horas and tve internacional with a spanish audio option on euronews and a religous channel.
Does anyone know if there any plans for more fta Spanish channels (radio and tv) on the hotbird satellite? I have fixed dish and cannot get hispasat due to a huge church blocking the signal in a westerly direction..... I know there are some spanish channels on astra but don't have the option of moving the dish as motors are quite expensive... I don't want to lose 24horas or tve (my girfriend is spanish and catches up on the news).... |

Re: Spanish channels on hotbird
Nobody can tell you if theres any more Spanish channels coming to Hotbird - only the channels and Eutelsat know that & it would be a commercially sensitive secret.
To get 19E & 13E is easy if you have a reasonable sized dish - you install a 6 degree monobloc and have both from the same dish

Re: Spanish channels on hotbird
I have a satellite sytem I got from lidls (sl - 65 with a 58/60cm dish) which was included in the kit. Will this be enough and could you provide some details at how I go about installing a '6 degree monobloc'....
Thanks, I'm new to this satellite lark and need all the help I can get....: -) |

FlySat Spain TV Channels
Yes, there are a few more on Astra(19.2), even more on Hispasat (30W). You would need to put up another dish for 30W though. Robbo

will the 57/60cm dish be big enough for the dual lnb? Also whilst I remember, recently whilst watching the satellite tv the screen gos black (not even a no signal logo) and the sound cuts. Just happens randomly. I have switch off and back on again to reset it.... Any ideas what could be causing this? thanks... |

Losing the picture could be down to poor alignment.
