Hi there

If you have a satellite connection already, simply screw/twist in the cable to the TV and do a satellite tune. Please note that the TV has only a basic EPG of Now/Next - even though the TV has a DVB-S/2 tuners, it is not a Freesat TV.

Cheers

@Arisef are you in Greece? It is a freesat for free services.

You need:

An antenna dish 80cm or more
One LNB for one satellite or two LNB's with a two input diseqc for two satellites
A technician to adjust disk and bring cable to your TV or use existing Digital TV cable by adding input mixer and output mixer and a line amplifier if necessary

Procedure for our TV is here:

@Anonymous @MiCal1967 You mean, even I buy all equipment I need to pay subscription to watch free sat channels? I can't understand, from the moment I have the tuner, why i could not watch free channels. What is a freesat tv? I live in Greece, do you know if this is supported here?

No Aris

You do not need to pay subscription for free satellite channels In Greece.

FreeSat is for UK. I think so.

You only need subscription for Nova Hotbird 8 @ 13°E Irdeto encryption and Digea Eutelsat 3B @ 3.1°E Biss encryption.
