Can I replace an analogue receiver with a digital one

Analogue is being rapidly phased out, you would be better off with a digital receiver, if the LNB needs replacing that is only around an extra £5, and straightforward to change, no dish movement is needed.0

Hmmmm :think: that's not what I was told, on another forum, by someone who for many years ran a satellite businessHate and I do mean Hate my apple Mac Computer - wish I'd never bought the thing
Do little and often
Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:0 -
Why don't you put a 'Wanted' Ad on your local 'Freecycle' site as there are probably several of these Analogue boxes sitting around in peoples lofts.0

Yeah well, there's a lot of things "so called experts" say. Just because he ran a satellite business doesn't mean he did the technical work.
You only need to re-align the dish if the channels you want aren't broadcast on the satellite cluster it's currently pointing at. So if it's already pointing at Astra 19E and the digital channels are on Astra 19E, there's no need to re-align it unles you knock it out when installing the new LNB.0 -

Well Analogue is on 19.2 ( east ) degrees and so is Digital.0
