Receiving Gmm Channels On True Dish?

[bangkok blue]

Has anyone tried to use a GMM box and a True box at the same time, via a splitter, from the same True dish?

I really want GMM sport extra. The satellite guy I know says he can do, but some channels unavailable due to the frequency. Something I find odd, as I thought they marketed it during the euros that it was on the same satellite, so no need for a new dish. One of my friends used it in the bar he had, but maybe things have changed now since channel reallocation and pay T.V introduced.

Would appreciate anyone's views on how they got on with this before I subscribe to the channels and buy a splitter.

Many thanks.

I have this setup, every sport channels on gmm works. Some other channels (frequency 12272) don't work when I have power on at truebox. Don't know why that happen, someone techsavvy will tell?

It's all to do with polarity switching of the LNB (the bit in the middle of the dish).

To make everything work you need to get a dual LNB (with two connectors) and hook one box to each output.

NOTE that you can hook several True boxes to one dish and LNB with a simple splitter as all the True channels are on the same polarity.

Many thanks hullupullo, just the news I wanted to hear. Now just need to find out where to get these 30day subscription cards. Hopefully my satellite guy will know.

If you want just GMM sport extra channel, that is free channel. Pay tv sport channels are Eurosport, Clubchannel, GMM football extra and GMM sport one.

Great news! Got GMM sport one on WETV. Some champ games also shown on sport extra. Just need to get that splitter and I can watch Leicester's march back to the promised land!
