    • You may be lucky and it might work ok, but I wouldn’t advise it, I get called in to repair weak signal problems all the time, especially on BIS French, NC+ Polish and Tivu Italian channels, hotbird signal can be tricky and it does vary a lot through the UK. Problems include picture breakup or no signal on some frequencies , sound whistling/popping. IF you’re going to use a Sky dish, make sure to adjust the skew ( rotation of the lnb ) it should be skewed a lot less than for Sky, should be almost vertical when used on Hotbird. You may have to file off the lnb ridges ( clickstops for Sky skew adjustment ) to get it right.

      To do it properly with no problems use a 65cm parabolic dish! simple and not expensive.

    • Yes I can fit 2 lnbs on one dish easily so you have Astra 2 for UK, Hotbird for NC+ Poland. I can supply you with a decoder and card that will work with both.

    • Hi George,
      The Technomates used to work a year or so back, but not now, they cannot process the encryption nor update.
      I can supply a single tuner NC+ box or a Twin tuner NC+ box – these update automatically.
      If you need the menu system to be in English, I can also supply the Ferguson Ariva HD, which has fastscan, to update the channels easily when necessary. Email me to order.

    • Check the footprints from Lyngsat.com some channels will be easy – ones on the KU Europe beam
      some will need a bigger dish – those on the Ku UK beam.
      You will need local knowledge. So ideally search for a local installer with experience of Astra 2 reception on UK beam, otherwise, like in Spain, 80cm on North coast, rising to 2.5m on South coast are typical sizes for the UK beam.
      You might find reports on some satellite forums, but beware as they often exaggerate ! ie don’t mention that the signal maybe fades at night or – only vertical polarised signals can be received, so you’ll only get half the channels..
