Don't get conned with the LNB. I have one of these, LNBTW02BOS+ BOSHMANN Universal Twin LNB, Noise Figure 0.2 dB which is also available as a 4. Readily available here and as Radioagogo will attest, seems better than ultra black.

Is that using a Sky card in it and receiving it on 11798 H ?

Someone in Fuerteventura was asking, according to KOS it is on that frquency although I believe it is Sky sub only.

There are a few psb channels available on an hd sub on the wide beam.

I agree, that's what most of us would like, no chance at the moment here in Portugal, although there are rumours something is yet to change. I would happily pay a BBC licence fee.

No rumours here in the UK and we certainly arent expecting any further moves in the near future.

Ah yes, I am thinking of the SD version. Thanks for that, I can pass on the info.

Can you get these from the Satellite shop in Rosario, up on the right from the 3 bums roundabout, and also how much are they?

 

[Lazarus]

............the 3 bums roundabout...............

The mind boggles!

The mind boggles!

Just google '3 bums roundabout' all will become clear.

Do you know, we were actually staying near Puerto del Rosario just over 2 years ago and never realised. Ho-hum.
