[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 835344, member: 323322"] The German Receiver should be able to get (Most of*) the missing Channels - It will simply have an out-of-date Transponder list stored.This can either be manually update by adding/editing to correspond to the correct listings as shown on [URL="http://www.flysat.com/28east.php"]Flysat[/URL] or by carrying out an Auto (Blind) Scan. * Dave is the exception as it is not Free To Air on Satellite and requires a BSkyB Subscription. Also, if they have CBBC and CBeebies stored, then these morph into BBC 3 and BBC 4 at 19.00 UK Time each evening. Anyway, to answer your question, yes a Freesat Receiver will work - but it will require a suitable UK Postcode to be entered. Suitable = one that lies within the BBC/ITV Region of most interest, for the purpose of setting the relevant Channel Numbers. One thing to be wary of is the Dish Size as recent and future changes in the Satellites mean that reception in mainland Europe is not necessarily going to be as good as it has been historically.
