If I had some thing like a 3 meter dish, from Cape Town, would I be able to receive some Sky signals, Or just how big a dish would I need. 'vette | ||

Not a chance. 30m plus might give you a tiny chance! The "sky satellites" are transmitting into western Europe - nowhere near Cape Town. | ||

. Hello, thanks for the quick reply. So leading onto the next question, is there a way to watch what we call 'free view' in the UK down in Cape Town. I was looking to take my Sky box, and maintain my subscriptions, and thereby keep watching all the soapy's etc. Should I just write it off as 'not possible' ? 'vette | |||

My System: 1.0W, 5.0E, 13.0E, 19.2E Sky Digital (Sony) TiVo, Dreambox 7000 | Slingbox works great. I send digital TV from Sweden to Spain, very good quality. I can change channels as if I were in Sweden. You just have to place your Sky box at a friends house in the UK and have an internet connection. | ||
