The choice of  the size of the dish varies with the geographical area where it has to be installed.

The table below might be useful in order to establish the correct size of the dish:The larger the dish, the better the received signal, even in case of bad weather.
You also need a Universal digital LNB able to receive the frequencies from the OPENSKY(TM) transponder.In order to receive OPENSKY™ Services, the dish has to be pointed at Eutelsat W3 at 7° East (frequencies 11262 horizontal polarization or 11449 vertical polarization). We suggest you to get an additional LNB and point it at Hotbird at 13° East in order to profit from a greater Eutelsat TV Channel offer. In case you already have got a dish pointing at Eutelsat Hotbird satellite, all you need is to add a new LNB pointing at Eutelsat W3.
For support on purchasing, installing and pointing your dish antenna, please
contact us or your antenna dealer.

On the table below, you will find the operating systems which can be used with OPENSKY™ Services (as for Linux, you need to use a DVB card supported by it):

Basic requirements to use OPENSKY™ Services:

  • Pentium Intel at 400 MHz or equal

  • 64 MB of RAM

  • 40 MB free hard disk space

We suggest using an audio card and additional free space on the hard disk in order to install push software and multimedia files.
