    old sky digibox

    Hi guys,
    I was just wandering if I could use an old sky panasonic (model no: TU-DSB30...the ones before sky+ were introduced) digibox to receive free european channels on satelities such as eutelesat 13.0....if so can i get another lnb and attach it to the sky minidish which is pointing to 28.2 or do I have to add another dish or get one big one...
    thanks in advance Hidden Content

    It is possible to pick up channels on 13 deg on you skydish, but your skybox is set to a 28 deg transponder (11.778 i think !!) you'll have to use the add channels menu

    To get channels on 13o & 28o you would need two dishes or have easy access to move the existing minidish

    Because of the limit on the number of channels you can 'add' on top of no diseqc switching or support for a motor you would be as well getting a different receiver.

    With another box and a bigger dish you could add LNBs for 28.2, 19.2 and 13.0
