Will These Dishes Work in Europe / Africa?

[ggafni]

Will this equipment work in outside of North/South America? can I run it in Europe for example?

Thanks in advance for any info.

WHAT?
You have to provide info first.

The dish and LNBF are defined by the laws of physics and not where you use them. The receivers have a few issues that can affect their performance in other places:

Mains power: North American receivers are built for 120 volts, 60 Hz. That could be an issue if you take one to Europe.

Video output: NTSC / PAL. The output video would have to be compatible with your local standards.

Programming: It appears that a lot of the programming elsewhere in the world is based on conditional access. You would need a receiver with a card slot so that you could buy access.

There are magazines that show you the diversity of receivers that are available outside of the United States. Also, LyngSat - Lyngemark Satellite is your "TV Guide" for the programming that's available around the world.

Good luck,

Al

You would need to get a receiver compatible with PAL.
