Does anyone have any info to enable a Telco smart sat skew to point to Telstar 12 ?

Any updates on this anybody receiving the channels on Telstar 12 ?

Depends where you are trying to receive it...
Should be fine to receive in the Uk.
But harder the further south in Europe you go.

Do you have an idea as to why Icecrypt receivers dont work even thought Telstar is locked on from the UK?

Icecrypt are no longer in business AFAIK. So maybe any transponder updates haven't been applied. Or something...

Late to the party but is WiFi now at a point that a satellite dish is obsolete - or is there a rational for both roof mounted WiFi unit as well as a satellite dish. Outside of ongoing cost initial installation costs etc.

WiFi is very hit and miss. Many sites only have coverage in limited areas (e.g. near reception) and speed is often not good enough for streaming especially at peak times.

pandas is talking about data not wifi, a lot of people get confused and refer to data as wifi.

We didn't fit a sat dish on the new van and have not missed it.

Normally use our own data but on our last trip we stayed on 4 aires that had wifi and if was fast enough for streaming.

As Lenny pointed out there is a difference between WiFi and data, I am not thinking about logging into a campsites/ public WiFi unit, as you pointed out it is hit and miss. My objective would be to connect to a mast somewhere to feed data direct. We currently use a mifi unit which works sort of okay for streaming say Netflix but thought a roof mounted unit might be a better option than our satellite dish. My question is do I keep both. Thank you Lenny for clarifying the point.

What we noticed on the trip we are just back from was that 5G was available nearly everywhere in France/Spain/Portugal even in the smallest villages, unlike the UK where it is only available in large towns.

I am hanging on to see how the Kabelio module works out think stewartwebr is the guinea pig and trying it out this winter.

As it happens I got the channels working a few weeks ago with a Amiko receiver and the dish pointing at Telstar. No idea how far the footprint will stretch but will find out in January when we head South.
