Satellite reception in Tyrol
Via the Astra 19.2° East satellite you receive the ORF channels, the German-language private broadcasters and numerous HD channels – with no ongoing cable fees. All it takes is a clear view to the south: in Tyrol’s valleys, trees, neighbouring buildings or mountainsides can block the signal.
That is why we check the best location on the roof, façade or balcony before installation and choose the dish size and mounting so that the system withstands wind and snow.

The right distribution for your home
How many TVs and receivers are to be connected and how the cables run through the building determine the distribution technology. We advise you on the solution that suits your home:
- Quad LNB: up to four users directly on the LNB, ideal for smaller houses
- Multiswitch: star-shaped cabling for any number of outlets, the future-proof solution for new builds
- Single-cable solution (Unicable/JESS): several receivers over a single cable when no new cables can be laid
ORF in HD via satellite
The ORF channels are encrypted on satellite. To watch them in HD, you need an ORF card or the card-free ORF DIGITAL DIREKT module and a TV or receiver with a suitable CI+ slot. We set up reception as part of the installation.
If you like, we combine satellite and antenna (DVB-T2) in one system – so you keep your reception even in heavy snowfall.
Frequently asked questions
What size of dish do I need?
For Astra 19.2° East, a dish of 60 to 80 cm in diameter is usually enough in Tyrol. A larger dish offers more reserve in heavy rain and snow. We recommend the right size based on the location and the number of users.
How many TVs can I connect?
That depends on the distribution: a quad LNB supplies up to four users, while a multiswitch or a single-cable solution allows many more outlets. An existing system can usually be extended.
Do I need a card for ORF?
Yes, the ORF channels are encrypted on satellite. You need an ORF card or the card-free ORF DIGITAL DIREKT module and a device with a CI+ slot. We help you set it up.
What happens in heavy snowfall?
Snow on the dish and very heavy precipitation can briefly weaken the signal. A correctly sized and precisely aligned system has enough reserve for most weather conditions. If reception stays down, our repair service can help.
