My System: Dreambox 7000S + motorised 80cm dish, Amstrad DRX550 Digibox + fixed dish | In the Czech Republic, every surname has a masculine version and a feminine version so the wife of Mr Pavel is Mrs Pavlova. For foreign surnames you just add -ova to the man's name. You can have a bit of fun with this rule: if Mr Legg marries a Czech bride, she will become Mrs Leggova on her Czech passport; Mr Roll would be married to Mrs Rollova, etc...
