as HB13DISH suggests, a combination of Astra 19 and Hotbird will give you literally hundreds of German and Italian channels, though few French ones. However, if you buy a TNTSAT box with card you can receive all FTA French programs via Astra as well.
In terms of cash outlay, you can buy a "monoblock" LNB for around 20 euros which is preset to receive both Astra and Hotbird from a single LNB. TNTSAT receiver start at around 100 euros. |
