[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 20865, member: 175144"] Maybe Expat2 and Maxi1 could combine their two dishes together ? Seriously, I am sorry to hear so many people have to lose their beloved TV channels unless they pay for larger outdoor equipment. But just think if the BBC had originally gone FTA at launch like all the others on Astra 2 and then went on the shared platform with specific equipment for recpetion of Videoguard. Even if the footprint became better for Spain and the other regions, the delays on obtaining boxes, FTV cards would be illegal to ship out, programme material would probably get worse rather then better owing to more funds required for the funding of the EPG and licenses to BSKYB In conclusion, it would STILL cause people upset. The BBC is swimming against the tide on this one, but the end result will hopefully be an improvement to the service by virtue of better funding. (and I do not work for the BBC, I tried once and they refused to employ me, their loss methinks) [/QUOTE]
