Dish pointing to 28.2. What can I do to get channels in other languages? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi all,
I've just moved to a rented house, it has a satellite dish (small, made of metal with small holes). It also has a Skyware SX1910/S LNB. I don't see any motor in the dish.
I've bought a Bush HD satellite receiver (freesat and fta).

The dish is pointing to 28.2 (as I can get all the freesat channels and the fta from Astra 2D..). That was probably set by the last tenant.

What do I need to get another european channels as the Spanish ones?

Thanks

Realign the dish to 19E.

Or 13e

Thanks for your replies.
As it is a fixed dish, if I realign the dish to 19E or 13E, I'll lost the freesat channels, won't I?

Should I buy a motor for that? Is there any other way to do that? I don't know if my landlord is going to give me permission to change anything.

Thanks a lot.

You could add a second lnb possibly, depends on the size of your dish.

Hi Rick

The dish is really small (about 46cm as diameter).

Could it work?

Thanks

Leave the existing dish and buy another one to play with..

far better all round
