Hi Echostar
I found you help ref maplin dish to be excellent , so I will not bother them
But that still leaves me with gettting TV in to my Apartment , so in that case do you ( or anyone ) know anywhere I can get a dish for use in Fethiye area

Meanwhile as its the 23rd , Merry Xmas to everyone

Has anyone bought a system from the shop next door to Karens Cards,and is having problems with it,ie picture freezing and then message saying Not running or scrambled.I bought this system from them just before Christmas,I asked if there were any problems with it as i live in Ovacik and was told no.We cannot watch anything all the way through without in freezing over 10 times in any half and hour. We have even had times when there has been nothing for over a day.The engineer there has been up on loads of occasions and is now saying it is not their problem it is a system problem,something about lighting striking In Istanbul or the weather. He has offered to upgrade it for a further 500tl after we paid 550tl not 2 months ago.

Hi Is anyone using this product? if so is it any good are there any pitfalls?

Would welcome any info.

that OpenBox receiver will only get you the same SKY channels as if you took a SKY box and pointed your dish to 28.2E (the SKY satellite).

the problem is that Turkey is well outside the intended satellite footprint, so the signals are very weak.
Imagine shining a torch on a wall, the UK would be in the brightest bit, Turkey would be at the fringe in the dull bit. So to collect enough signal, needs a big dish.

You can get some channels with a large dish (1.5cm) but not all by any means.

Karen no longer has the shop in Günlükbaşi.At this moment in time she is in UK and not very well.

Wow thats not big at all

[Scunner]

1.5m should get all the shopping channels you don't want and none of the channels you do.

not according to echostar Scunner. I am def going for his tv package with a 1.5 dish which will apparently get me many decent channels

I was talking about Sky, not Echostar's TV package.
