Newbie question's

im going to buy a blade 7000s receiver and i just have some questions:

1. i have a sly viewing card subscription, do i just put this card in the blade 7000s ?

2. can i put 2 lnb's on my sly dish to pick up sly and hotbird 13e...?.....if so how do i set this up ? im moving flat at the end of the month so i will use sly's homemove service.....can i ask the sly guy to stick another lnb on my sly dish ?

3. do you think an 80cm motorised dish is better? do you think sly guy would put that up for me instead of a sly dish

thank you

All three questions I would have to say no to all of them.

Buying the Blade with a motorist dish is correct to receive 13E, a C/S will also be needed
A c/s can be bought here,

Blade box is cccam and newcamd ready

This is all done without Sky's help

haha i feel dumb, i guess ill be cancelling my sly then and start using c/s

but im sure im in a sly contract

Sky contract....

Tell them due to the recent upgrade to the digital terrestrial network you no longer need their services...

Wait to you see what they say.

Reckon it would be best to do some reading-up on the sat side before buying anything card sharing (C/S) has to be paid for

If you do decide to go ahead,cheapest to buy the kit and ask a local aerial fitter to install.

where is the best place to buy the kit?, ide rather buy it all in one, 80cm motorized dish and blade receiver, ive checked ebay but they dont seem to have a combo deal

Most can be bought on Ebay
Dish---- TD88cm Triax________360289379030___£45.00
Motor__Dark Motor_________310302635532__£45.00
LNB___Inverto Black Ultra___250898810339__£13/14
Brackets__T & K
Don't know why you would buy the Combo unless you also have cable

This is what I reckon will do the job for you as before best to do some readimg
Out of interest would part of your postcode be PA5.??? have a friend in that area

@jonpc ...will this work

1 x Triax TD78 78cm Steel Satellite Dish (user favourite - excellent performance)

1 x 0.1dB Single Output LNB (brand varies, always excellent performance)

1 x Metal Gear DiSEqC Motor (brand varies, DiSEqC 1.2/1.3 USALS Motor with FULL metal gears)

1 x Heavy Duty 'L Bracket' Wall Mount

Can't see anything wrong with you list,although a bigger dish will you more sats,as said before this may be OK for some but not for others.

Note, NO brand names apart from the dish, think about it.

someone else told me to use a technomate dish and motor as the blade is the same box...

The choice is yours,not everyone's TV is the same as their DVD player.
The above was only what I was advised to use,after installing the dish for the first time all worked OK.
Having a Sky dish does not mean a motorist dish can be installed as eg:trees on the East/West may block the signal for other sats

how much would you pay for an installer to mount dish w/motor ?

ive called around and getting quates from 250 - 500 gbp this seems expensive to me, i would give it ago my self but its a second floor flat

Seems over the top,I don't know if your fit/able enough but I would do it myself.
Why do you need 13E as some of the channels on 13E are also on 28.2E which you have already.
My advice use your Sky dish with a C/S and box which will give you 28.2E a motorist dish can then be bought later if needed

is it possible to have 2lnb's on a sky dish for 28.2e and 13e hotbird?

also does anybody know if scottish football is still on 13e?

ended up ordering this
Complete 80 cm motorised upgrade with Alsat Dark Motor (Ideal for Spiderbox Receivers) Orbital 80cm dish Orbital wall mount Inverto Black Eco 0.1DB LNB 20 metres cable four raw bolts includes clips and cable ties

hope ive ordred the right stuff

If it was bought as a motoristed dish package can't see why not.

When the dish is installed make sure it facing south with eg no trees in the way, compass is a good idea.

cant wait should be getting my receiver and dish etc by next weekend, i found a sat guy to istall my dish for 70 pounds, which is a way better price than what i was getting before lol...... thanx for you help jonpc and paddy....... im sure ill be a frequent visitor here in the months ahead to share my experiences

cheers

It will be interesting to see how you get on.

Few photos of the set up once all is completed wouldn't go a miss!

Good luck.
