The Digiquest Ti9 is an official tivùsat receiver and the straightforward way to watch Italian television in the UK. It comes with an activated tivùsat smartcard, so it works out of the box, and it is built around the Italian national channels, the Mediaset group included, Canale 5, Italia 1 and Rete 4.
Ready for the tivùsat card switchover
This matters more than any other line on this page. tivùsat is switching off its older Tiger based smartcards between 2026 and 2028, working through them oldest first. The blue, gold HD and grey 4K cards are all affected. They cannot be updated, and once a card is switched off the only fix is buying new equipment at your own cost.
This receiver ships with a Merlin card, which is the standard tivùsat is moving to. If you are buying now, buy something on the right side of that change. If you already have a tivùsat box and are not sure which card is in it, call us on 01622 535870 with the card colour and we will tell you where you stand.

Ti9 or Q10?
The Ti9 is the simpler and cheaper of the two, and for most households it is all you need. Step up to the Digiquest Q10 if you are on a communal or unicable system, or if you want the media player and the wider tuner support.
Your dish
tivùsat broadcasts from Hotbird at 13 East. You need a dish aligned to that position, and a 60cm Zone 2 dish is the right size. It is not the same position as UK Freesat or Sky, so an existing UK dish will need realigning or a second LNB. Not sure what you have? Call us on 01622 535870 before you order.
We install too
If you would rather not go up a ladder, our own engineers cover London and Kent. Add the installation service to your order, or call us on 01622 535870 and we will book you in.
