[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 97572, member: 176912"] You can get a few more FTA scraps from other satellites, but it would mean re-aligning your dish, which if you get someone in to do it would cost a fair few bob for not much gain. To get anything worthwhile, you would need a bigger dish (80 - 90cm dia), a new FTA sat-box plus a new LNB for your dish, cable, mounts etc. You can pick that lot up (bundled) for about £250 plus fitting (another £100?). That's about 9 months Sly sub, but would give you many channels from one of the other two large sat locations. For an extra £20-odd, you could have either a dual-LNB or a monoblock which would double what you could receive. If that sort of outlay doesn't put you off, then you're in the right place. Check out [url="http://www.lyngsat.com/astra19.html"]http://www.lyngsat.com/astra19.html[/url] and [url="http://www.lyngsat.com/hotbird.html"]http://www.lyngsat.com/hotbird.html[/url] to see what that would consist of. You can get all the FTA stuff there (key at botom of pages). I would also advise keeping your existing setup as-is for the Beeb and ITV/Ch4/Ch5 as the FTA box won't do all these. STICK [/QUOTE]
