Beaten to it by Analoguesat.....as usual
All replies taken on board in good faith. I am here to suckle on your collective bosom of knowledge, you middle class back-combed sycophants.
Deggsy at work has an old analogue satellite system in his garage, gathering dust. He declared it redundant when he got a digibox. Is there life in the old dog yet? Can "old" analogue dishes and boxes be purchased, nicked, rigged up still? Or would that be a pointless exercise? Mrs Flank might not approve of the big dish aesthetic, but me and the little Flanks would be up for it.
Cheers, from a late developer!
:cool:
Grab that analogue kit and have a look here:
www.analoguesat.co.uk
You can get some free music channels and Eurosport.
As for the extra channels aspect, well there isnt much around running off the epg. A handful of radio stations, a few tests for forthcoming channels and a couple of Czech services which finish at the end of January.
Adding channels is easy.
Services 4 4 gets you into the ADD CHANNELS menu. Use the parameters you see hereto set the transponder. Follow instructions to scan the tp, then Services 6 to watch the test.
Note you only get channels appropriate to your subscription level, so anyone can watch free tsts, but on the rare occasions a Sky Sports test turns up, only Sports subscribers can watch it.
Thanks man, really appreciate that.
