Greek Channels Free To Air #7715 Fri 30 Dec 2005 02:57:PM

OP goulin Space Trainee G Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 8 Sydney, NSW	Hi All,<br /><br />From what I can gather, the only free to air Greek channels are:<br /><br />Optus B3 - ERT, RIKSat (conjecture as to if this is really Greek anyway)<br />PAS - Ant Pacific (until January anyway)<br /><br />Is this right?<br /><br />I am a newbie to satellite, and from what I can gather, there are different providers... is that right? How does it all work? I'm currently using UBI (I think on the Optus B3 network) and can only get ERT and RIKSat. What can I do to get Antenna Pacific? Do I need to move my dish and connect to PAS or can I just setup another transponder? If I move my dish, I gather that means that I will lose ERT and RIKSat.<br /><br />Sorry for all the newbie questions, I'm sure there are simple answers....<br /><br />Thanks,<br />goulin

OP goulin Space Trainee G Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 8 Sydney, NSW	Thanks for that.<br /><br />Alternatively, I can install a second dish... which we gave away to a friend, maybe I can get it back.<br /><br />Do you know what position I need to move it to so that I can get Ant1? Once I have the right position, it's just a matter of setting up all the transponders again right? Is there a list of all the transponders for all the services (i.e. is there somewhere where you can lookup all the settings for the transponders for Optus B3, for PAS etc)?

OP goulin Space Trainee G Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 8 Sydney, NSW	Thanks for that.<br /><br />Another question... how easy is it to adjust the dish, say if I wanted to move it from UBI to PAS8. It would just be a matter of adjusting the angle right (from 152 to 166)?

OP goulin Space Trainee G Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 8 Sydney, NSW	More stupid questions coming... I had the Sat installed by someone, so I've never actaully looked at it....<br /><br />But... do I need some sort of tool to measure the angle, or is it guess work, or does the Sat have the angles labelled on it (depending on the Sat you have)? Because if it easy to adjust the angle, I might just move it for the few days that I can get Antenna Pacific then move it back.
