[mythtvnz] Optus D1 and Australian TV

[Brendan Dacre]

Gentlepeople,

I have an old Sky dish which I reasonably sure I can get Freeview on, but I
would like to get the Optus D1 Australian channels as well.

Has anyone succeeded in doing this?

Can I do it with an old Sky dish (is it big enough)?

I believe Freeview and Sky are horizontally polarized and the Australian are
vertically polarized.  Do I need other hardware, i.e. a new LNB?  Will an
ordinary satellite card such as a Nova S, TeVii 420 or Technotrend S-1401
work?

There are 3 freeview DVB-T multiplexes.  How many multiplexes will I end up
with if I succeed in getting the Australian channels (SBS and ABC)?

I don't yet have the hardware, I want to work out what I need before I
start.

Thanks.

Brendan
