Hi All,

I am looking at having Dopi TV installed, I am based in Famagusta. I have emailed Namik but he must be away as I am not getting a response and was wondering if anyone that has had it installed could very kindly answer the following questions:-

1 - How many coax cables do they run into the back of the satellite receiver?

2 - I understand that there are 2 satellites installed, do they run 1 cable from each LNB into a 2 to 1 cax block. (I am trying to get away with having them drill holes though my wall as my TV is on an internal wall, my builder ran a single coax all around the house within the walls, with an outlet box on top of the house)

3 - What brand of receiver do Dopi provide, i.e does it have a USB port that can have an external USB HDD plugged in for recording?

4 - How has the service been recently?

5 - Do they show reasonably up to date UK soaps, e.g EastEnders.

6 - Do the installers speak English?

7 - Is there an EPG?

8 - Are the channels named as you surf?

jib777,



Don't bother, I have just had Dopi taken out, the service is bad most of the channels are scrambled and you can't watch the soaps on it. Mine had 3 satellite dishes and we still couldn't watch it.
