My System: FTA receiver |
Hello, I'm sure this question has been asked before, so thanks in advance for your patience. What receiver do I need to receive the FTA BBCi channels on, for example, the Sky digital bouquet on Astra 2B south (12441 V)? If I understand correctly, even though these BBC programs are free to air, I still need a special receiver in order to receive them. Do I also need some kind of card as well?. According to the footprint, there should be no problem receiving these channels in Berlin with a 1-meter dish. I currently have a Humax 5400, but to my knowledge it is not able to receive these kinds of digital signals. Many thanks in advance for your help, Dave | ||

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos there's no room for dishes here... :( The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | A sky box usually does the "Red button" stuff, and there's no need for a card with BBC channels and content as they're free-to-air...  However, you should be able to see the BBCi feeds on a real (I.E. Non-sky) satellite reciever as individual channels rather than having to navigate through menus to access the extra content... | ||
