Update 5:
Yesterday I finally moved my satelite dish in new mount, more stable and safer from where it was!

We screwed late afternoon, then I came today to do the finishing touches like better singal, tape the hanging cables and it's almost ready to go.

This one is pointing at Hotbird 13e and Astra 19.2, with 2 LNB's of course(as seen in the photo), and thousands of free and scrambled channels.

Mainly is used for live sports, but also events like BAFTA, San Remo etc.

Ps: I was thinking getting a new one, my fourth satelite dish, bigger, but it has to wait.

The one thing we are all afraid on Satellite TV is BISS2-CA!
It uses fixed scrambling keys called Session Words (SWs) to secure the stream. It also uses AES-128 encryption, which makes it more difficult.

Users on forums are trying to crack it, but no much hope, since it's totally secure.
When BISS2-CA takes over, the pirates over satellite will see a black screen.
Until then, BISS keys will be cracked.

Whatever Happened To The Squarial? British Satellite Broadcasting

Feeds from 16A East!
While they were installing the natural gas pipe, they moved it a bit and lost signal couple days ago. I fixed it the same day, yet needed a better singal for some channels.
Got my ass on terrace this morning, and played around a bit until I got a better singal.

Here are some photos from the satellite finder, with some TP's and the results.

Update 4:

When I first started the whole thing, it was me with IPVT channels, searching and watching over 2000 channels. Then I decided to go back and install satellite TV. It proved to be way better, with HD quality and no delays. When people ask me what the hell I'm doing with 2000 channels, I answer, "One night you will get bored, so you open the satellite TV, and you start zapping."

Dish 3 wasn't big enough to receive the channels I wanted, so I turned it into Hellas Sat at 39.0E. Lots of channels free and scrambled.

Weather was about to change, and I had to protect the DiSqec from the rain. So I used plastic taperware to cover it, with tape around and a bit of silicone to fill any holes.

I also had to change the first big cable. It was broken and badly made (beginner mee).
