The missing Channels are on the UK focussed (!) Astra 2D beam, so you'd need a decent size Dish to get those in Poland - well over 1.8m, in fact.

The Channels you will get are from Astra 2A, 2B and Eurobird, which are more or less pan-European in coverage and can generally be received with a modest sized Dish.

The Strength and Quality reading you see is for the Default Transponder 11778 V, which is on Astra 2A. That does not reflect what your reception on Astra 2D Channels will be - and we don't need a meter to be able to tell you to grow your Dish rather a lot!

What size Dish are you using, as a matter of fact?

Have a little look at _http://www.flysat.com/28east.php and you will why BBC News, SkyNews , Fiver, Five US are ok but the main BBC/ITV Channels aren't. Specifically, click on "Footprint".
