[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 413755, member: 256551"] Hi, the only satellites that the UK channels are broadcast on are the 28.2E/28.5E (Astra1/Eurobird1). The problem is that most of the FTA ones are on the ASTRA2 2D beam which is focussed tightly on the UK. Other FTA are on 28.5 fixed beam The FTA channels available on the above sat cluster are listed here:- __http://www.lyngsat.com/28east.html The ones with an 'F' in column 4 are FTA. For the 2D channels you will need a very big dish, check here:- [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/VBGooglemap.php[/url] For the 28.5 channels a smaller dish (1.2-1.5m) according to Lyngsat. Only one dish is required to pick up both 28.2 and 28.5. You don't need a HD receiver, any of the FTA receivers in Maplin will do, or FTA satelite receivers from elsewhere also. regards. [/QUOTE]
