Hello,

I receive FRANSAT via satellite with a dish pointed south to Eutelsat 5WA (ATLANTIC BIRD 3).

1) I would now like to receive CANAL PLUS, what should I do?

Details: apparently to receive CANAL PLUS via satellite, you need a dish pointed at ASTRA, or a dual-LNB dish pointed at different satellites... I do not wish to have a second dish, nor to change to a dual-LNB model.
If there is no satellite solution, I assume that if I connect my CANAL PLUS decoder to a traditional rooftop antenna socket (Terrestrial/DTT) and to my TV (I have a satellite input and also a rooftop antenna input), I could watch CANAL PLUS, but I would have to change my HDMI source on my remote control every time I want to switch from CANAL PLUS to FRANSAT and vice versa?

2) I want to have the least amount of cables and receivers.

My TV has a PCMCIA slot (compatible with Canalready and Fransat), is it possible to convert this PCMCIA slot into 2 PCMCIA slots to insert both of my cards (CANAL PLUS and FRANSAT) at the same time?
Can I convert a USB port (or another) on my TV into a PCMCIA port compatible with CANAL PLUS or FRANSAT?

Thank you for your advice.

    Hello,
    Unfortunately, there is no other solution for Canal + than to add a terrestrial decoder... and change the input to watch Canal
