My Foxtel Died - What Can I Watch?

First of all, the Foxtel service you had was illegal. We won't sell you a new card to make it work again. If you want to make it work, call Foxtel 131 999 and get a subscription.

However, it's not the end of the world if you don't want to pay for satellite tv. You can simply reposition the satellite dish to receive channels from a different satellite.

What you can do is move your dish to another satellite and get the free to air channels available.

If you're looking for all Australian channels, then try finding Optus D1 which at the moment sends out ABC and SBS for all over Australia. A Sat Finder will make the job very easy. You can also try for Optus D2.

You can also try your luck on NSS6 - which will give you a few interesting Russian and Middle Eastern channels from abroad. This is very close to the horizon though, so you may find there are buildings in the way. Try to move them, and if unsuccessful try mounting your dish on a taller pole. You can also try a bigger dish, as this is more likely to get some signal, and also makes it easier to find the satellite.

It's easy to find a satellite to receive from (except NSS6 - which can be tricky), it just takes a few minutes and it really helps if you have one of these little gadgets.
