Hi,
I knoe it must be a very basic question but I m real dumb in the field of DTV. I have Arion 3030 (from old selectv subscription). Is it possible to use this to watch channel one. I tried but it always ask fior satellite name for search. Please advice if its possible?
I need to buy one stb which can have blind scan function as I tried a lot with the 2.3 m dish I connected in my backyard. It never show any channel. ppl suggested me to purchase a new stb with blind scan to make everything easy. Please advice if you know any one which is good for the FTA channels (I dont need pvr or any kind of recording ones).
Thanks a lot

Hi bobss,
Sorry nobody has answered your question but it sounds to me like you have a satellite receiver and not an FTA set-top-box?
You don't need to be dumb if you have the Internet because you can do a lot more research before asking dumb questions!
Go and buy yourself an HD set-top-box and, with a good antenna, you will be able to get the channel you want and all others.
You may be listening to the wrong people but then somebody else could enlighten me on what a blind search is? That one got me!
Ricko.

This is where duplicate threads cause confusion.
