Hi all any one no if portable comag SL30 is any good will it work ok in europe Thanks Bernie:Cool:

 

[Satandpcguy]

Yes it will work in Europe.
It will receive any free to air channels that your satellite dish can receive in that location - just like any other FTA satellite receiver.

This may or may not be a consideration .. it is not 12vdc ..

If you plan to use exclusively on EHU .. no problem, otherwise it will also need a small - 12vdc - 230vac inverter to power it from your leisure battery ..

There are 12vdc FTA sat receivers on the market.. one example .

The Comag SL30 is 12v/240v so can be run off EHU without any problems.:thumb:

I stand corrected.. the info from the site I looked at said:

Despite its small size, the Comag SL30 HDMI USB digital TV receiver can't be powered directly from a camping-friendly low-voltage DC source.

perhaps there are two models ?

If you have an HD TV with an HDMI port perhaps you could consider one of these.

Not much bigger than a cigarette packet, so very small and extremely lightweight. It runs on 12v and 230V and gives you HD pictures from all satellites.

The Comag version here is £99.99, but includes an additional LNB with LED's.

I bought the Dyon version (Identical) of the receiver on its own from here for £59.99, full EPG and PVR option as well...

On that thought, can a sky unit be run off a motorhome dish ?

Depends on the model. I have 12v / 240v sky box but they are not cheap and not easy to find in good nick.

My apologies my model SL30 does not have HDMI and is obviously an older model.oh:

Yes, You will just need a small invertor to power the 230V Skybox when you are off hook up...:thumb:
