[QUOTE="knusperkeks, post: 30842, member: 176882"] Hi! I hope somebody out there can help me! :) I just moved to Stornoway (58°13'N, 6°19'W) on the Outer Hebrides with my girlfriend. We rented a flat with Sky digital (no subscription though, that means that we can only watch the free channels) and get also BBC1 and 2, ITV and C4 via a normal aerial. We think about getting another satellite dish to view free TV channels from Germany and Spain (my girlfriend is from Spain, I am German). Unfortunately nobody here seems to know anything about getting something apart from Sky. I checked the lygnsat(?)-pages and saw that most of the channels we are interested in are on Astra 1e and 1f (and also 2c). Now my question: how big does the dish has to be to get the signal from Astra in Stornoway (where it rains almost every day!!! :()? Where should I buy it and which receiver to I need? As we don't have much money they cheapest "no frills" option will probably do ... Thanks in advance for your help! Knusperkeks [/QUOTE]
