I am new so hope this is in the correct Forum !
I have Spanish Digital TV terrestial which is fine for Spanish news and films with English language.
Am not interested in the full Sky and FreeSat channels. Don't watch much and prefer the radio.
Now on BBC World Service it says that you can receive it using Eutelsat Hot Bird 8 at 13° East.
BBC World Service in English free-to-air, 24 hours a day from Eutelsat Hot Bird 8 at 13° East, transponder 50V, 11727 MHz, Service ID 13907. Hot Bird 8 covers the whole of Europe (including the UK, the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Azores, Iceland, eastern Greenland, Svalbard and Malta).
You should contact a local satellite/TV equipment dealer for information about the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) receiver required for reception from Hot Bird 8. This works in conjunction with a television set, but you can connect the audio output of the set-top receiver box to a Hi-Fi system for better quality sound.
Am now wondering if I need a complicated set up to receive a signal just for AUDIO ? or doesn't it matter.
Also any idea what would work best ?
