[QUOTE="smac, post: 27872, member: 176732"] Hi, I am completely new to satellite TV. I live in London. I am not interested in most channels offered, say, by Sky. I would simply like to get the main national channels from Italy, France and Germany (and the UK): RAI 1,2,3... ARD, ZDF... TF1, Arte, TV5... BBC World Service... (at most, 30 channels - but I would be happy with as few as 15 channels) I see (checking on the internet) that most of these channels are on Hotbird 2, Hotbird 6, Astra 2D. How little can I spend to get a reliable system? What receiver should I consider? What dish? (do I need a 80cm dish? I've been told that with a 60cm one I wouldn't get a signal if it rained or was windy) Are there stores in London where I could go and get advice? Having never seen/used a satellite TV, should I get someone to install it, or is it extremely simple? Thanks for any help! SMAC [/QUOTE]
