[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1041057, member: 82144"] Your understanding is generally correct. Sky and Freeview transponders are all horizontal, and 9/GEM/Go! are long gone (note: SBS is still up on C1 for the next month or so at most if you have the appropriate equipment). My intention in mentioning SBS et. al. was to give a well known example. D2 has channels on vertical transponders that can be received in NZ, and my understanding is that occasionally there are vertical feeds on D1. If anything desirable intended for Australian eyes was going to be put up on Optus D1 you can almost guarantee they'd use a vertical transponder. Like I said, if you prefer the cheaper option then the simple splitter is the way to go; if you prefer the ability to peek at the odd feed or have the inclination to pull in Optus D2 or D3 for whatever reason, you might invest in the second option. :) I note that Optus 10 is planned for launch next year. Same capabilities as the D series birds. I think I read it is planned to go into 164 E. Not sure what it will be used for. I think Sky would be crazy to invest too much more in the satellite platform. Bring on UFB distro! :D [/QUOTE]
