  • Equipment for feeds

    Hi,


    I'm in Portugal and I would like to buy a dish, motor, lnb and receiver for searching for feeds, but I'm in doubt about the best equipment combination for feeds.


    For the dish it seems that the only important factor is the size so I'm considering 1m dish in aluminum with 80cm or 1m, do you consider enough?


    For lnb and motor I really don't know, do you know what is necessary to have in consideration to choose this?


    Regarding the receiver I'm in doubt about which one its more appropriate. I was recommended to buy octagon sf8008 but it seems that are several models of this octagon sf8008 same model so I'm in doubt what model version is most appropriate. For example there are at least 4 different versions of this receiver:

    Octagon SF8008 4K UHD Gigabit - Enigma 2 - Combo

    Octagon SF8008 4K UHD E2 DVB-S2X TWIN

    Octagon SF8008 Mini Combo - 4K - Enigma 2

    Octagon SF8008 4K UHD E2 DVB-S Single



    If someone can give a help about a good combination for this it would be nice!



    Thank you!

  • sat dish and receiver doubt

    Thank you! And, since I'm in Portugal, for football feeds do you know what is necessary in terms of equipment/technology?


    For what I understood at least, is necessary a dish, a lnb and a motor. For the dish I'm considering 80 cm or 1m dish in aluminum , for what I understood only the size matters for feeds. About the motor and lnb I really don´t know what is necessary to have in consideration.


    Regarding the receiver I'm in doubt about which one its more appropriate. I checked some receivers like amiko and e2 because it seems that there are a lot of good reviews but I don´t know if those reviews are from people that use the receivers for feeds. And also there many models and I'm in doubt about which model is most appropriate for feeds.


    If you can give a help about a good combination for feeds and if is necessary some more thing besides the dish, lnb and motor it would be nice!


    Thank you!

  • sat dish and receiver doubt

    Hi! I'm in Portugal and I was checking this most for sports feeds, particular football. But I'm not understanding if nowadays still there are football feeds on satellite or if nowadays there aren't because football feeds it seems that are sent by fiber. So I'm not understanding if for football makes sense to have a dish and receiver system. Do you know if still are football feeds on satellite? Thank you!

    Hi!


    I would like to try having a satellite dish but I don't understand much of the subject and I have some doubts about the process, basically the necessary equipment and what is needed to do, if you can give some help it would be nice!


    From what I understand with the dish it is possible to directly get the feeds from the satellite and then the receiver receives the feed and transmits it on TV.


    But then I'm a little doubtful in terms of equipment that is necessary to have for this.


    Some questions I have are:

    - For what I understood its necessary to buy satellite dish with 60/80 cm and then in terms of receptors I saw the amiko 8155hd line ccam seem, do you know if it works for this goal? And then, after having the dish and the receptor, for what I understand the feeds are encoded, does the receiver (for example the amiko or another) automatically decode the feeds or is something else needed?


    Thanks!
