[QUOTE="Prague68er, post: 132278, member: 195944"] Thank you rolfw for your very fast reply. My interest in 28.2/28.5 is mainly English language pop for my two daughters. I'm after as many English language children's station as I can muster as I think it will help them develop their language skills. Both girls speak Czech 100 times better than they speak English. I can also get a few Cryptoworks encrypted Czech language channels at 28.5. I'm guessing that the same LNB would pick up both 28.2 and 28.5 (is this correct?) I can pick up TV Pika at 39°E and I like the idea of some Greek/Cypriot channels (especially during a bleak Czech winter). My interest in the Astra - Hotbird pair is perhaps more obvious given they are generally popular with satellite tv watchers. I would have loved the BBC to use a wider beam. I feel a bit of discrimination on their part as it is easy to pick up the signals in France, Netherlands, Belgium etc. so they clearly have no issue with some foreigners tuning in. It is a pity they do not let us all pick up the signals so easily. Having CBBC and Cbeebies would have been a tremendous help for young language learners here in Central Europe (and this language learning is a major reason I'm getting more interested in digital satellite stuff). I read a great review of the Technomate TM 1500CI+ and I think it will suit me well. I'm concerned about the patch stuff as I'm a PC dummy. Is it better to purchase a pre-patched model on eBay? Thanks for all your time, Prague68er [/QUOTE]
