This may be of interest to anyone wanting satellite TV channels.
I have 2 x 90cm dishes, one fixed and locked on the W6 satellite, the other dish is motorized and I can get three other satellites with this:
- HotBird
- ASTRA
- BADR
These are hooked up to a standard digital satellite decoder unit (no need for a Smart Card or subscriptions) and the motorised dish is easily moved to saved settings via a remote control.
NileSat on the W6 gives you hundreds of channels including the usual movie channels, sports channels are also found on W6 and Astra including many normal pay-to-view channels.
BADR is a load of bollox and nearly all Arabic.
The cost of this setup is a one-off LYD 450 with no monthly subscriptions.
If you want to bring your Sky box to Libya, you will need a BIG dish from a premium manufacturer such as ChannelMaster. Minimum 3.1m will be required for decent reception.
