New here - Advice please

Hi there,

Im all new to the boards

I live in Zakynthos, Greece and have a Free to air sky box. Thanks to the advice on another thread im now receiving itv1 in some region, which is brilliant,

I tried to add the itv2 -+1 but i get 4 pictures on the screen.

My main question is, According to sky i should receive e4 and more 4 and film four

but when i go to the channels i get no signal being received, So i tried to add the channels as extras (information again from here) and all i get is a message about subscripton to BBC?

Ive also heard BBC1 should be avalible soon in greece with only using a small dish?

Can anyone help?

My System: Sky Plus V3 TDS 470n, Pace 2600CI, Thomson Sky HD, Technomate 1000D, Prodelin 1.8m dish + Invacom Quad C120, CM feed, Lacuna/Wolsey V3 meter

1.2m is too small to get Astra 2D in Greece. There's no truth at all in the story that the BBC will be receivable on a small dish well outside of the UK, it's just another crazy unfounded rumour.
