Freeview/terrestrial and satellite(was-What happened..)

[Medziotojas]

Is anybody on here familiar with the Sirius satellite?

 

I wish to receive Lithuanian channels and apparently this is the satellite to aim for. Unfortunately, it is primarily focused on Scandinavia and the Baltic countries meaning Britain has a poorer signal.

 

Do I need a bigger dish?

 

Do I need to sign up to 'Viasat' (and if so how), or some other regional server?

 

Any advice greatly appreciated,

 

Philip

Can you not get it via the web, I know a few Polish here who use the web.

S'pose it depends on bandwidth.

 

Do you mean these guys

Could try giving the guy at IsleSat a bell. He seems to be reasonably well genned up on what's out there. You might have to end up getting a motorised or multi sat system to make it work though, if I'm reading this right. From their FAQ's:

 

Unlike a standard fixed dish pointing at Astra/Eurobird 28 degrees East that pick-up the usual BBC & ITV channels, a motorised or multi-sat system will allow you to view TV and listen to radio stations from most parts of the world transmitted from over 30 additional satellites. Channels include European stations - plus hundreds of other stations Worldwide including news, documentaries, movies, music and sport. You could even watch live transmissions from MSNBC in the USA or programs from as far away as Taiwan!

Many thanks for the replies. I will give IsleSat a try.
