[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 14524, member: 175209"] Your old analogue box is best pointed at Astra 1, 19.2 degrees E(the same place that the original Sky analogue service was) In English you will still find CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg (daytime only) and Eurosport. There are 4 German music channels (most of the music is English) and many other German channels. RTL1 is usefull for watching some sport, particularly F1, so that when the ITV adverts come on, you can switch to RLT1 to continue watching. (for English cometary while doing this use Radio 5) From Hotbird 13 degrees E you will get BBC World and TBN in English and DW, a German news channel shows regular programs in English. There's also a dozen or so other channels mainly French and italian. There is no analogue service from Astra 2. Your digibox can be used on all three. Astra 2 at 28.2 degrees E (where the new Sky digital comes from) has the most English free channels, but Hotbird and Astra 1 have many free foreign channels as well. The best and most updated list of what's where can be found on [url]http://www.lyngsat.com/[/url] Rather than be limited to just one, why not put 3 LNB's all on one dish then you can switch between them for maximum choice. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
