    As already pointed out too 27ºw stopped working some time ago for BISS keys..


    I am currently trying to get a "loan" of a 1.5 dish to test...
    will report whenever..


    If it helps I have a guy with a working STB on 27.5 W seems to have no problems

    I´ve just tested 10º E here on the northern coast of Spain getting a 55% signal fluctuating..
    Seems an i***** card is needed so not opening for me..
    BBC1- BBC1 delay ,, etc..
    forget 27ºw]


    Do you think that I would receive this in the Caspe,Spain. I have a 1 metre dish. which of the 2 do you think I should opt for you state forget 27 west why?

    Hi, I am suffering the same problem. I have lost all signal UK FTA signals. I have researched 27.5 west but was not aware of 10 east. I am based in Caspe Spain.
    of the 2 which would you recommend and why? I am in the process of purchasing a icecrypt 3200 hd for 27.5 west but have put it on hold in case you guys advise different. Any solutions appreciated. I have been without TV for over 5 weeks and it is not nice.

    Hi, i am in a similar position to macsporran. since the changes I have lost all signals. I have been informed I may need a dish size of 2.4 mts. We live in Spain,Caspe. I have been looking into 27.5 west I have sorted a STb icecrypt 3200hd to work on this SAt. I had no idea 10 east was an option.


    Which from the 2 options would you recommend and why? I used to have BFBS when I served in the Army over in Germany. just before I left they changed it to an encrypted system requiring cards.

  • advice needed on new box purchase

    Hi, recently in Spain we lost our satellite signals. To correct this we need a new dish around 2.4mtr. Price wise this is completely out of the question.
    I have heard we can tune to Intelsat 907 27.5°W. This apparently works on Basic Interoperable Scrambling System BISS. I am looking for a STB capable of handling a symbol rate of 44,100, and able to decrypt BISS.


    I own a Humax FOXSAT-HDR Freesat which I believe is not capable of the job, could be wrong


    I have found these boxes but cannot find specification to say if they do BISS and high symbol rates any advice and guidance appreciated.


    I have a budget of approximately €200
    The boxes which I believe are capable of doing this in my budget are :
    Technomate tm-5402 hd
    Icecrypt 3200 hd
    Vu + Duo hd
    have seen this one advertised on site could be ok Octagon SF8 HD


    Requirements are simple :PVR,EPG.twin tuner.


    I do not wish to pay any more as this may be a short term solution if they stop broadcasting.


    I know these boxes are probably more capable of what I require, however I would just like to have some solid English TV to start with. The last 4 week without TV have been hell, I have even had to engage the wife in conversation.


    thanks in advance for any guidance and assistance.
