Hi there
We are looking for some helpful advice on freeview satellite tv, such as satellite recievers and dish size.
We live in Whangarei, where HD is not available. We were considering getting a 90cm dish because of rainfade and our rural location, but were told that a 60cm dish would suffice. We also want to recieve SBS, so are not sure if the size of the dish would dictate what channels we recieve?
Our tv is 10 years old and is still going strong. It only has 2 video inputs, which are taken up by our video recorder and dvd player. We were considering getting the DishTV S9020DVD satellite reciever (http://www.dishtvsupport.co.nz/s9020dvd/) since it has a DVD, freeing up our DVD port on the tv. But today we were told that we should look at getting a HDMI satellie reciever, despite the fact that HD is not available in Whangarei. So, we thought about getting the DishTV S7050PVR HDMI Satellite Receiver (http://www.dishtvsupport.co.nz/s7050pvr/), but that means we would have to get rid of the video recorder - which records weeks and months in advance, on channels we are not watching.
We would really appreciate some help on what satellite reciever people recommend in the $200 bracket, as well as some advice on dish size.
Thank you :)
