TV with integrated satellite tuner: connecting to an existing satellite dish
Hello,
I am putting into service a TV receiver with an integrated satellite tuner in an area without terrestrial coverage.
I would like to test the existing satellite dish, the previous installation having included an external satellite receiver.
If I connect the dish directly to the TV, will a scan find the channels (I say find and not display, since there is no decoder at this stage)?
One of the questions I have is whether the TV's built-in tuner is capable of powering the dish?
Thank you for your insights.

Hello
The satellite tuner of a recent TV can easily manage/power a satellite dish LNB.
Depending on the orientation of the dish, you will find a significant number of channels; the encrypted ones will not display (black screen) but will still be present...
See you!

If my answer helped you: a small thank you is nice. If it's resolved: the green button at the top is better ;-)
Let whoever has never opened a user manual throw the first mouse.

Hello
the description of the TV features will give you part of the answers
tuner C, T, S2, mpeg4
if the S2 tuner is present you will see international channels (mostly German ones on Astra) in the clear
in any case, French channels via satellite can only be viewed with a Fransat or TNTsat decoder

A thank you is appreciated.
Mark as resolved if your issue has been solved. I use the informal "you" with everyone.

Possible indeed, but your TV must be compatible with Fransat
What is its full reference?

- the previous users had a Fransat receiver (so on EUT 5W)
- I looked at the pointing direction relative to the facade, and it would fit well with 5W
