Alden automatic satellite dishes are available in a range of sizes and styles. All models come with a Satellite Search Control box which makes it quick and easy to locate satellites. The S.S.C. is neat and compact and can be sited inside a locker or a cupboard. It can be connected to any satellite receiver including a SKY digibox. (A receiver is not supplied) This system offers users a choice of satellites: Astra 1, Astra 2, Hotbird, Atlantic Bird and Hispasat. The satellites - and programmes - which can be received depends on which satellite receiver is used. If you want to watch SKY subscription programmes or Channels 4 & 5, you must use a SKY digibox. However, this will restrict you to watching programmes from the Astra 2 satellite. If you want to see what is available from other satellites, it is necessary to use a receiver such as the Zehnder DX-65. A SKY receiver can be used in conjunction with either of these models.
