Hi ceol,

This thread is about channels at 19.2. S#y is on 28.2, so you should really start a new thread yourself. There are lots of people here who can help.

Anyway a quick answer to you question is you will need a good dish like a Channelmaster.
A 1.2 m dish is minimum in Madrid (you will not get BBC2 with a 1.2 and you will need a S#y box with Freesat card to get CH 5)
If you get a 1.8 m CM you will get all the channels with most sensitive boxes, though I understand BBC2 will still get pixelated late at night. A good LNB and alignment is also very important.
Madrid is not the best spot to get Astra 2D but is better than say Alicante.
