My System: 1.8m Famaval PF Dish, Pace 3100, 2600, 430, freesat Humax HD, Freesat Grundig, 0.8m illusion motor, Dreambox DM7025 | BBC prime is a subscription service, specially designed to offer progrmmes to expats. it is availble on many satellites, and sometimes is offered with other countries subscription services, but in europe it is a stand alone channel on Hotbird. it is not available on the "uk sky" group of satellites you need to go to _www.bbcprime.com and fill out the form, pay them and you can get a card....you will need to point the dish at the correct satellite and make sure you have a receiver that will accept the card....some "patched" recievers are able to receive this without a card but who knows for how long... | ||

My System: Satellite Dish 1.6m Hotbird 13E, DreamBox 7000S with Gemini 4.5.0; Dish 1.2m Amos 4W, Nokia 9600S; Nokia 9800S; Hauppauge Nexus-S PCI Card  He battled for 3 days against the Tux and won! Hurray!! |
BBC Prime Package Excellent picture quality with the DTH (Direct To Home) subscription. There is a 1st time setup charge, but will not be charged if you renew next year. The trouble is with so many repeats, you will just pay for already watched series so people tend to be satisfied with just one year. When it is part of a provider's package, they tend to reduce the quality so as to have more channels on the leased transponder. I think that it used to be part of Nova (Greece), but not sure if it is still offered. | |||

My System: Pheonix Apollo converted to an openbox x820 | BBC Prime has been consistently hacked for as long as i can remember, i would not pay for this channel, i can even remember watching this with d2mac cards, not much there though - unless you like repeats

My System: TRIAX 1.5M DISH DREAMBOX 5620S tripple LNB- 19,28.2, 13e now actively CS | there may be some truth in the continual hacking of BBC Prime- back in 2005 when i got my dreambox 5620s the 1st channel I could get on hotbird was BBC Prime- it has pretty much stayed with me ever since- i never remember it being scrambled. even now when i lavishly indulge in cardsharing having tried forever since 2005 BBC Prime remains available on Hotbird | ||
