[QUOTE="archive10, post: 998715"] Adding to what [USER=312276]@RimaNTSS[/USER] writes, you will need to understand that the BBC FTA channels are shared with the Sky subscriptions, so that they use the one and the same dish set-up. The FTA channels are protected not by Scrambling (as with the dedicated Sky channels), but with a narrow-footprint beam. So receiving the BBC/ITV/etc FTA channels can be a challenge in North Italy. A standard Sky dish may receive Sky channels such as Sky Sports from the Europe-wide beams, but will not be sufficient to receive BBC/ITV/etc. To receive the FTA channels, you need a larger dish, probably in the range of 180cm or similar. Are you willing/interested/allowed to put such a dish on the roof? [/QUOTE]
