[QUOTE="geoffrey, post: 802657, member: 194666"] I use a ChannelMaster 2.4m offset and SMART Quad LNB with a HD box - if you do a search of this forum you will find several posts with what you can receive - which depends on time of day. The dish is now sold by SkyWare Global who have an Israeli importer - if you get it from them you are not charged the very high import duty for personal imports. They will do installation or just the dish - if you do it yourself you will need a proper Spectrum Analyser etc. One thing to note is that you don't need the special feed - ordinary offset LNBs work fine but I found the SMART to be best. If you have a dish bigger than 2.4m you need special permission from the communications ministry. Originally I had an old 3.6 DH prime focus dish but the present 2.4m offset ChannelMaster outperforms this probably because its side lobe performance is better at rejecting Arabsat transponders. For BBC the best solution is as described by others with a VPN and BBC iPlayer. [/QUOTE]
