You´ll probably need a 1.5m dish, and any sky subscription always must go to an address in the UK. Get a friend or relative to get it, although im told you can still have the direct debit taken out of your foreign account.

It has most of the info you require including dish size requirements.

To get Astra 2D (BBC+ITV channels) you will probably need a dish of 3m or more. If you search the forum you will probably find some reception reports :)

I was about to help until I saw your picture!!!!!
A 1.2M will get you most channels in north Fuerte a 1.5 if far south. As previously said a good 3M will get you BBC & ITV. Dish costs 275 - 300 for a 1.2 & 2500 to 3000Euro for a 3M. I´m over in Lanzarote & the best advice I can give on who to use is ask around & get recommendations.
