[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 487234, member: 262829"] Hello lockettpots, You are right. Hot Bird 13E is loaded with Italian channels, a lot are FTA and there is also an encrypted package subscription called Sky Italia which is very difficult to purchase outside Italy. If by learning you need to listen to the spoken language then this is the place for it. Unfortunately I haven't seen any special TV courses for the Italian language. It might help to read the subtitles in Italian on some channels while listening to the audio. Most receivers have this function and it can be switched on or off at will using the remote. Rai Uno, Rai Due and Rai Tre have this occasionally on some programmes. The teletext can also be a useful language learning tool. From what I have read, in the UK a small dish is good for HB (60cm-80cm). Any cheap FTA receiver would be OK, but you should wait for some recommendations on which models to choose. Just make sure that it has subtitle support. [/QUOTE]
