Dr.Dish:
For digital recepetion of ASTRA-packages your dish should be larger then the
existing 90cm dish. To be for both satellites on the safe side, try 120 to
150cm. Your LNB should have a range from 10.7 to 12.75 GHz. Not nessesary a
Universal, but if you have to make the change, just buy the right one. It´s
only a little bit more expensive.
Much more difficult is the choice of receiver. Just to get the packages of
Italy a GALAXY (TELE-satellite 1-2/97) or the PACE 500 would be fine, but if
you like to receive more then this, two receivers are more suitable:
MASCOM 9500 from Gruber Satellitentechnik in Augsburg/Germany. This Nokia
Mediamaster based receiver will allow the recpetion of nearly all european
packages (but you need the cards) and scpc-signals in the c- and ku-band. A
first view one this receiver you can find in TELE-satellite 1-2/97.
The second receiver comes from Bakker Electronics in Urk/The Netherlands.
This time it is a converted d-box (also Nokia based) and also able to
receive c- and ku-band and the scpc-signals. At time of writing I am testing
this unit and results will be published in TS and drdish@tv.
