harrythai Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I have a satellite dish (PSI open meshed 1.7 m) and want to receive c-band. Orderd a new digital smart TV (sharp 4T-C40AH1X) with a built in digital tuner (DVB-T2) and Internet connection (WiFi/LAN). My question is, if I need a PSI set-top-box to receive all c-band channels or if it's enough to connect the antenna cable direct with the tv? Thank you in advance for your helps :-) Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I don't think there is anything really worth viewing on Satellite dish any more, unless it's Indian or Chinese,give up Satellites years ago now,as its so easy to stream almost anything you want from the Internet. You should not need a box ,as you said the Tv had DVB T2 ,just connect cable from satellite to Tv, but you are going to have to know where the Satellite is in the sky to point the dish to it. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Assume you already have the required LNA in the C-Band antenna and it has signal. You will need a C-band tuner and PSI is a good model. It will provide about 300 channels including all the normal land transmission channels. You will not need the TV digital tuner or another antenna. Channel list below. https://psisat.com/c-band/ Edited November 9, 2019 by lopburi3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tv is for my Thai girlfriend, I don't watch tv. So the Thai channels will match ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-band tuner is a set-top-box, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrythai Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Now I'm as smart as before. One says I do not need a box, the other says I need one. What's the difference if I receive with or without a set-top box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-band tuner is a set-top-box, right? Yes - it is a special tuner that is auto programed to the available C band channels by PSI - it has nothing to do with TV (will connect via HDMI to TV). These S2 models work well (have 4 in use) and are only about 400 baht. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/psi-s2-hd-auto-ota-i265416652-s413097672.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.5.311969b6JArjtt&search=1 Edited November 9, 2019 by lopburi3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see there are also PSI S3-Hybrid boxes available. Worth to buy (580 Baht)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have smart TV with wi-fi as well as the DVB T2 tuner for over the air so probably not needed but might make it easier to use if wife actually wants to watch internet TV as well as cable (probably easier to use one remote to switch modes/channels).
