Hi, newbie here. I've just moved from London to Jeddah and the TV here sucks! Is there anyway I can get the UK tv channels over here. You know the main ones you get with sky (sky and non sky channels). I know when I was based in europe you could do it there but how can I get it here? Thanks. | ||

Welcome to the forum modificata I doubt you would stand much chance of anything below 3.5 mtrs dish size, probably more like 4.5 mtrs and a lot of luck

My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/13E/16E /19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue | You may get a few channels on a 4.5m dish, but you certainly wouldnt get the BBC, ITV channels or any of the other channels on Astra 2D on such a tiddly dish
