Qestion nr.1 :

Hello Roman,

I am moving to Hungary soon and would like to know if Multi choice Africa can be received in Szolnok .I have a 1.8m dish with my own decoder and smart card. Is 1.8m enough or do I need to get 2.3m?

thank you

answer from dxsatcs.com :

Dear Mr. Adriaan ,

This is the answer : full stable , all day long reception of TV packet DSTV-Multichoice Africa from satellite Intelsat 10 at 68.5°E naturally in C band is starting from active dish diameter about 240 cm with real MER gainings level 1,5-2 dB up to noise in  Central Europe (same as in Hungary-Szolnok)    .This means that dish diameter about 180 cm is not enough for full stable reception in the central european zone .

Best Regards

Question nr.2 :

Thank you for the good news.

I am originally from South Africa but working in China now and will be able to buy the 2.4m dish plus good LNB from a friend of mine. While i am here and can buy the products cheaper, is there anything else you would recommend that I bring with me that is more expensive in Europe?

Regards

Adriaan

answer from dxsatcs.com :

Hi Adriaan ,

If you'll buy quality PF 240 cm + universal dual polarity LNB for C band 3,4-4,2 GHz + original DSTV-Multichoice receiver with IRDETO2 CAM you will be able to  watch  all Multichoice PAY tv channels in C band from satellite Intelsat 10 at 68.5°E without any reception unstability in Hungary.

Best Regards
