I figure it is easier to ask and quicker.....<br>
<br>
I have NZ freeview off my sky satellite working 100%. I now want to capture a<br>
greater range of channels using my old ihug disk that is still in position on the<br>
roof. Couple of obvious questions:<br>
<br>
I have a DVB-S2 card in my pc.<br>
<br>
What satellite can I hit, can I get this satellite<br>
<br>

Only the channels whose beams cover New Zealand, mind...<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
<br>
Also I understand that I will have to change the LNB and also the alignment of the<br>
dish. is this correct.<br></blockquote><div><br>The LNB on the dish will have either a Ku band or a C band LNB. That satellite has, pointed at new zealand, a Ku band beam ("New Zealand"), and a C band beam ("Pacific"). Which one to use depends on what you want to pick up<br>
<br>And yes, you may have to realign the dish. Set the elevation (up/down) using the scale on the dish (use <a href="http://www.dishpointer.com/">http://www.dishpointer.com/</a> to find the right value), plug in the meter between the dish and decoder, then turn it around (not right around, all birds from NZ are to between North-east-east and North-west-west) until you find the meter lights up.<br>
<br>Don't know what the LNB type and alignment of those iHug dishes were... does anybody know?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Any advise appreciated<br>
