My System: 130cm dish 80cm motorised dish Silvercrest SL65 FTA Internet cafe broadband Lots of FTA channels on most satellites aimed at europe and middle east. ![]() | Wait and hold your horses. I asked you for american tv ages ago. And Ive found it. It may not be direct from america, but its usually live and broadcast the same day! Flick yourself to nilesat, UK Sky, and on MBC4 watch friends, oprah, Dr Phil, Malcom, missing, NICS, Alias,ER and loads others, on Onetv you can watch some of martha stewart, and some ABC progs. I watched one the other day and it had a clip from season 2 of lost. Dunno if itll be on that before english tv tough. Also in the morning from 8am, it shows live news from US, also they are up to episode 14 of season 2, so youve missed half of them, just wait 8 weeks (57 days) and then we´ll all have our beloved Lost back! | ||

Even in East Anglia you need 1.2m for just one set of polarity. The OP disnt ask for "American TV" He asked specifically for ABC. We were correct in our comments - you cant get it in Europe. | ||

My System: Dreambox 7020 with 120 gig hard-drive disk - running a motorised dish DM800 +DM600 +DM500 although only usually the 7020 and 800 are both on. | I can get Nilesat but none of those channels appear in my services listing?, do you think a rescan is needed and if os how often do members rescan for new chans? z | ||

The H polarity channels in particular are weak in the UK. You may find your dish just isnt up to reception of some transponders. | ||

To go back to the original post you will not get ABC in the UK despite what other posts have been made regarding other US channels | ||

I've recently found AXN and canal chans on 30W which can output english so programs like lost - csi - westwing - jag- simpsons and others are all available. (who needs $ky) z | ||
