I can't speak for others, but if I could have a go at answering this, I guess, it's because, generally a lot of people want to watch ORBIT NETWORK's US channels and programmes in irdeto 2, mtv arabia, family tv (saudi arabia) etc. - that's for the 25.5e.:)

Hello everyone,

You want MTV UK, I want MTV Brazil. I think it can be done over the internet, watched on a 14" CRT tv with half the VHS tape quality. I think maybe even very slow internet connections could pull it off (I mean even a DIAL-UP) But I'm not sure. What do you think?

12823v & 11785v have gone over in the last day or two - not a lot of useful channels on these tps ... LBC carries a few US/ Arab sub'd movies ...

btw.. I'd like to get MTV Brazil and a lot of the other Latino stuff like HTV music channel etc.. -

I can just about pull in 11075V with just a 1.2m dish, so i reckon a 1.8-2.0m dish might be good enough in favourable weather conditions, but probably need 2.4-3m for 24/7 reception in all weathers.
