Please help :(

Hola !

I'm new here and totally ignorant about this subject, but since they have taken away from the cable, the only channel in spanish that I was able to look here in Rotterdam, I have decided to purchase a satelite disk.

I've been asking in a few shops and they have told me that if I buy a turnable disk, I will be able to see even southamerican channels.

But that is obviously an expensive option that I want to affort if I'm sure it will be workable.

They have adviced me a receiver from the branch STRONG.

Can somebody give me information? Any help will be really appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance and hope to hear from you!

hello erika..

 

i think that the south american channels are very difficult to receive because the satelites are on the other side of our planet.but you can receive a lot of other channels.

I wouldn't take a strong.a nokia9500,dreambox,humax is a better choice.especialy for a beginner.A turnable dish is good but is a littlebit difficult to install.not easy for an absolute beginner.try first to install a normal dish and learn a bit about satelite.if you are getting familiar with dishes than you can try to install a rotor onto your dish.

@Erika,

 

Welke Strong hebben ze jou geadviseerd?

Een Strong 8000 en een Strong 4375 bijvoorbeeld

zijn erg verschillend wat mogelijkheden betreft.

De Strong 8000 is bijna uitsluitend geschikt voor Astra/Hotbird.

 

Behalve de Strong 4375 zijn nog een groot aantal satellietontvangers

geschikt voor een draaibaar systeem.

 

Op Astra 19 Oost zit de Spaanse Canal+/Taquilla.

Op Hispasat 30 West zijn heel veel Spaanse zenders.

Op Panamsat 43 West is een Mexicaans pakket met Spaanstalige zenders.

De meeste zenders zijn legaal alleen met het vereiste abonnement te ontvangen.

 

Om bovengenoemde satellieten te kunnen ontvangen moet je

vrij zicht hebben op de plek waar je de (draaibare) schotel plaatst.

Hi Erika,

 

If you really want to look only spanisch channels it is not really necessary to buy a turnable disk. Satelite Hispasat has mainly spanisch channels (also Mexico). You will need a disk about 1 meter. Hispasat is located 30 degrees west (means 30 degrees right of the south) So you will need to look if there are no objects in the path to the satalite. You don know where the south is? Look at the position of the sun about 12:30. Hispasat has free to air channels and Nagravision decoded channels. If you want to look decoded channels you need to buy a receiver which can handle Nagravison (patched receiver with Irdeto CAM or receiver with MM module). Of course this type of decoder is more expensive than a receiver which can only handle free to air channels. The enable codes for Nagravison change every day. So you also will need a card programmer and a smart card as it is not possible outside spain to subscribe to Via Digital. Via digital is a provider on Hispasat satalite. If strong is a good receiver I don't now. I have an Echostar, I am happy with it.

If you want to look to channels other than spanisch you will need a turnable disk. Ofcourse this will cost more than a non-turnable disk. A turnable disk setup with receiver will cost you about 700 euro or more.

 

I suggest to read the duwgati pages (www.duwgati.com). This site has all information about satalites, cards and decoding systems. You will need this info if you want to program your own smartcards.

 

good luck
