As the title states, I'm new to FreeSat, so don't know that much about it, as far as I have learned it is better than FreeView.
So basically, you install a satellite dish, point to south-east direction, or if it's motorized it has the ability to move in multiple directions towards multiple satellites allowing to pick up more channels due to multiple satellite reception. Then you plug the dish into a receiver, like an openbox or something, and then into TV and all is well in the universe.
Also assuming you don't need anything like Sky or Virgin media connection.
Questions:
Are all these channels that come from multiple satellites free?
do they all fall into the free-sat category?
Is there any UK specific restrictions ?
I'm in the Wales area, so how many satellites would it be possible to reach?
How many channels can one obtain from a motorized dish? (feel free to answer that in anyway you wish )
and finally, if it is possible can you give me a brief explanation on:
LNBs
diseqc switch
and other things that need to be considered
Thanks appreciate it if somebody could answer the questions, as i'm learning as i go along here.
cheers
