    Multiple satellites on Vu+ box

    Bit of a noob question coming up, so bear with me!

    I've currently got a Vu+ Solo2 connected to the sky dish, pointed at 28.2E, receiving UK Freeview fine, with a full EPG.

    What I would like to do is also receive 13E to get Freeview Italian TV as I'm learning the language. From my Googling so far I understand that I'll need to put another LNB on the dish to get the 13E satellite and then use a DiseqC switch to change the feed over through the receiver (please correct me if this is wrong).

    What I would like to know is how I can achieve an EPG for UK TV and Italian TV. Is this possible? Would I have to have one EPG that contains all the channels, or can I use the box to control the switch and have separate EPGs for UK and It TV?

    Assuming you use crossepg for the UK, you can also use EPG-importer to import rytec Italy XLMTV into the epg, so that as long as you have the Italian fta bouquets set up, you can update the epg for these channels as well.

    For Italian channels you are going to need to buy a card to decode them. Card is a one-off payment, and does not expire.
