    Hello, I would like to know if CYFROWY POLSAT or CYFRA PLUS are broadcast from the same satellite as the English SKY. I have access to the antenna set to SKY but without the possibility of moving it and I would like to know if I connect any of the Polish POLSAT or CYFRA decoders it will be picked up correctly.

    The SKY Digital package broadcasts from the Astra 2A / 2B / 2D (28.2 ° E) a, C + and Polsat satellite with Hotbird 2/6 / 7A / 8 (13 ° E) so it will not work.

    no way??? hmmm, it's a pity, and if you connected some ordinary satellite decoder, could you find any Polish programs on this satellite?

    As the previous speaker wrote - make a "squint" on the air (topic tortured many times, so you will find on the forum how to do it.
    Hot Bird has strong beams and even with small antennas the reception should be correct no matter from which satellite (C + and CP programs are broadcast from these three Hot Birds): Hot Bird 6 , Hot Bird 8 if Hot Bird 9 .
    If you set the converter precisely, there should be no problem with HB reception.

    HotBird. Through him, the platforms send permissions to the card, etc.

    If you want to watch free programs from Hot Bird, there are even a lot of them on Leaves in many languages. If you want to watch Polish, there are only a few of them and it's such a niche. Here you have it List with all free channels on all satellites (mainly HB and A) you can set the satka for whatever you want. You can always buy a C +, CP or N decoder because all these platforms broadcast from Hot Bird.

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the compatibility of satellite broadcasting between Polish platforms CYFROWY POLSAT and CYFRA+ with the English SKY service. It is clarified that SKY broadcasts from Astra satellites (28.2° E), while CYFRA+ and CYFROWY POLSAT are transmitted via Hotbird satellites (13° E). Therefore, a SKY antenna cannot receive Polish channels without adjustments. Suggestions include using a second LNB for "squinting" to capture signals from both satellites, as Hotbird has strong beams that can facilitate reception of Polish channels if the antenna is properly aligned. Additionally, there are free Polish programs available on Hotbird, although they are limited in number.
