[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 99935, member: 176379"] My first U.K channel i ever received was on my 1.8m dish in 1983 and Sky Channel which is the mother of all U.K channels today. It was broadcasted in OAK encryption system and they only allowed it to be received if there were like 15 or more households i think, however i got a good contact with a distributor who in some way had contacts within Sky which allowed me to get the official decoder which costed me like £500.... It was great times and the showed all american 70's shows..... It was broadcasted from the first ever Eutelsat satellite called ECS-F1 at 13 degrees East. I remember BSB as well as i had a english friend who fixed the contract for me, i visited him in Leeds and we went down to the local sat-shop in the small village he lived in outside Leeds. He signed the contract and i got at the same time a nice vacation at his place. As you rember you had to authorize the BSB receiver by calling BSB and telling them your authorization number. In Sweden where i live the footprint from the Marcopolo satellite was weak and i used my 3 meter dish to get signal, it was impossible with anything smaller, maybe 2.4m was ok at minimum. Anyway, it was nice when i called my friend from Sweden and told him to call BSB, after 10 minutes i got all channels on my telly... Hehehehe...it was really great times..... [/QUOTE]
