[QUOTE="billyburger, post: 20635"] Hi all you satellite wizards, I am a new member to the forum and have joined because I know zero about sat TV but am moving to just north of Alicante in Spain mid August and need my British TV. I have already installed a 1.1M dish, 0.6 universal LNB and Panasonic DSB30 at my house in Spain. I get no ITV (I'm on the south beam) and channel 4 is unwatchable. I am trying to decide what size dish to go up to for 2D but have heard nothing positive from my area yet. My immediate question relates to viewing cards. I have bought 3 more Panasonic DSB30's which I am taking over with me at the end of this week - my children want British TV in their rooms - along with a 0.3 manhattan quad LNB. I was under the impression that the viewing card was for BBC as it is issued to TV licence holders. Am I to understand that ITV, channel 4 and channel 5 also need this card and still will even if BBC go free to air? If this is the case it seems that I have wasted an awful lot of money on digiboxes which will only pick up a few advertising channels! I don't think th Beeb will issue me with 3 more cards! Does anybody know the correct way to ensure that the skew angle is correct on the LNB - I appear to be able to twist mine wherever I like without making the slightest difference. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Bill [/QUOTE]
