[gazzasore]

Hi I was wondering if anyone gets Multichoice Satelite TV here in the Khon Kaen Region

& If so what size Dish do I need & how do I go about setting it up

I already have a couple of Satelite Recievers

Any help would be most welcome

I take it you are talking about multichoice South Africa if so the satellite receiver will have to be able to decrypt irdeto 2 encryption and you will need a smartcard from multichoice to view it, and they are not that easy to get outside of South Africa.Thats the hard part the easy part is that you will only need a prime focus dish with a c band lnb 1.5 to 2.0 metres in diameter should be ok then you need to line it up on intelsat 10 satellite @68.5 east.If you have never line a dish up before you would be better off getting someone to do it for you, dont know if there are any satellite equipment shops aroud the Khon Kaen area but if there are it woud be better to get them to set it up.

Have no problems in getting the C-band signal on Intelsat 7/10 about 60km from Khon Kaen on a 1.8 solid, prime focus, though I do not have a working card for MCA. I know one dealer in Khon Kaen, but would not recommend him because of price. He is an official stockist for Infosat products but inflates the list prices very significantly. Forgotten the name but it is an electronics shop on the corner just east of Fairy Plaza. So I would try to avoid him for an installation. Incidentally it is Multi Choice Africa on C band at 68.5E, not MCSA. The card is not so hard to get, albeit at a very high price (see JSAT's website for clues). Many of the Asian dealers also offer MCA on their CS servers at a price.

How did you get on Gazza ? I am also desperate for Supersports (for rugby and cricket). Did you find any decent local satellite specialists ?

All good guys got a 1,8 mtr mesh Motorized dish used my DG Station decoder from Perth tuned in to 480 channels most of them not much use to us Chinese Indian etc

I get Intelsat 7/10 ok Have got round to getting a card yet

I was 10,000 bht to buy it and have it installed

Now we are moving house and have to go through it all again

All in all happy with the setup & I used the man you spoke about (Citizen33) no problems half the time was spent trying to work out my Decoder

I just bought one with 200 channels and 198 are rubbish.

The good 2 I have on KK cable tv anyway - a complete waste of money(unless you like Indian, Chinese stuff)

I got 480 free channels

only maybe 10 are any good
