I've decided to install proper satellite that will work with a Foxsat HD Freesat receiver. Currently I have 2 dishes but they're both rusty. I need to redo the cabling, and maybe install a new dish. Near Versailles It will need to point to 28.2°E (It's actually 28.2° E of South, so if you're looking at a compass from the north it's 151.8° ) which covers Astra 2A/2B/2D & Eurobird 1 which are used by Sky Digital, but there are loads of Free to Air channels (FTA) on them, so you don't need a subscription! Here's a few useful links : Loads of good info... http://www.bigdishsat.com The bible for channel IDs! http://www.lyngsat.com/28east.html Compass alignment http://www.satalogue.com/section9/page6a.htm some other bits and bobs... http://www.digitalsat.co.uk/frontpage.html http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=169547 http://www.wickonline.com/fta.htm I will use this for aligning the dish. http://www.lyngsat.com/tracker/astra2d....
