metronic touchbox 3 for BBC and ITV Southern Spain

Hi first time on site. I have a metronic touchbox 3 sat setup. on astra 2b I can recieve channels such as CNN news,movies 4 men, true movies sky news. but no ITV or BBC 1. The dish is 80 cms. I have viewed in the press that a different transponder can recieve extra channels. Is this true. Present one is a single universal SN 606540922 any advice welcome. thanks

My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.

It will depend on where you are in Southern Spain as to what sized dish you require, but an 80cm dish will almost certainly be too small for BBC and ITV.

My System: Sky Plus V3 TDS 470n, Pace 2600CI, Thomson Sky HD, Technomate 1000D, Prodelin 1.8m dish + Invacom Quad C120, CM feed, Lacuna/Wolsey V3 meter

Please post exact location. If you are in Costa Del Sol, you will need to upgrade to a 120 cm. If in Costa Blanca, 180 cm, rest of southern Spain 120 cm to 150 cm.
You may also need to ditch the receiver as well to get reliable BBC.
