| Hi everyone. We heard about South Africans that are catching DSTV (South African Digital satellite TV) in Munich and Prague, so we brought a DSTV decoder with us and have an account, but we need to find someone who can help us set up the satellite and the connection correctly to catch the signal... We tried sky4expats but they aren't that keen to help. Has anyone on this forum perhaps done it or know someone who has DSTV in switzerland?
We have posted this question on other forums and got the reply "you are now in Europe, get a life and adapt"  - but quite frankly we miss the excellent sports channels.
Does anybody know anybody who is a guru with these things?
Thanks! | |

Have you checked forum.dstv.com
"The footprints the dstv system uses are not visible in Europe. A South African decoder won't even work with the DSTV footprints which might be visible from North Africa, which is very unlikely without a 12 ft dish."

If others are receiving South African TV then it may be it's available on multiple satellites. Once you find a satellite that has a footprint in Switzerland, you need a satellite meter (minimum price for a decent meter is about £150 but make sure it covers the satellite you want).
It is the size of the parabolic dish antenna that counts. Nothing else.
