Request HD sat box with 40cm dish?

Hi there,

I think i've got 40cm dark grey dish with single cable to a LNB. Now i want to upgrade to HD sat box maybe (Pace - DS810XE) for 2 bedroom - what kind of equipment do i need it?

Do i have to change my dish or just changeb LNB? and couple new sat box?

I'd like to see all Indian + Sky Movies1-10 + Sport 1-3 + HD channels.

Look forward to hear your reply,

Best regards,
FiReDuCk

If it's already pointing at 28šE (where $ky transmits from) you just need to substitute a dual , or preferably quad, LNB and run appropriate satellite grade cable(s).
Make sure the LNB you buy will mechanically fit your dish arm though.

The pace box is for free to air channels (FTA) ,to get the sky channels you need a sky hd box and pay them the subs, i don't know about the indian channels ,some are FTA, BBc hd is FTA.

Buying Sat box from sky - they are expensive! but i'd like to buy other brands name which is lots cheaper then Sky's products. Can I buy the card from Sky and plug-in with Pace's sat box? will i be able to receive all channels like i said below?

I've no idea where the dish is point to, can i just plug-in LNB with quad connections from the dish where ever that is pointing to? where can i buy appropriate satellite grade cable(s)? and which LNB would you recommend for mini-dish 40cm?

Will i be able to receive some channels from E.U.?

cheers,
