[QUOTE="Cupart, post: 250636, member: 189003"] Hi Gavman and welcome to the forum. First of all, you don't need any permission to setup a dish anywhere within the EU as this would infringe with your rights of free information. Some may argue that this is not correct due to local laws, but EU law goes above local law, so it's up to you if you want to start a council battle and/or start fights with your neighbours. Ask your neighbours nicely and tell them about the benefits, and they might want to share the dish with you to keep the costs down :) Also, you don't need a special SKY digibox to receive channels like BBC, ITV1-4, FilmFour etc as these are not encrypted. Any odd digibox will do the trick, but if you wish to subscribe later, you need the SKY box. You don't need to fork out with loads of money getting an installer out as you can do this yourself. If you know how to handle a spanner we're all here to help you out as you go. Just make sure there's a free sight towards 28,2E and start a new thread in the correct "folder" in this forum. Regarding the dish size. Depeding on what make the dish is 88cm might be a little too small. Check out lyngsat.com for the correct dish size in your area and/or kingofsat.com for reported working sizes... Good luck [/QUOTE]
