Set your dish with an external decoder or satfinder. Then configure your TV.

I am sure you intend helping, but you have said almost nothing.

Karlman:

I am sure you intend helping, but you have said almost nothing.

No worries.
I'd repeat myself.

Go and get an external decoder (e.g. strong decoder) or satfinder and use it to set up your satellite receiver dish outside.

Then remove the decoder and configure the inbuilt satellite receiver there to the settings you used on the external decoder or satfinder.

I'd you no still understand, come back. More people go help you break it.

Cheers.

stephenponti:

I don't have the patience to order from Aliexpress, especially with all the covid-19 delays

But if you insist on ordering from there, I would strongly advice you go for Mecool KIII pro , its the best I have seen so far. Just that I would have loved to order locally, I get really impatient with delayed deliveries, it stresses me out.

I considered that mecool KIII pro, its on the range of 39k, I then researched its close alternative it pointed to this Freesat GTC and its about 25k to land in lag.
The main difference between the two is
7.0 & 6.0 android version,
3gig ram & 2gig ram,
5USB port & 2USB port
the rest features are similar.
I 'll just oder it & forget it and wait less than 2 months max.
