newy needs advice

[big andy]

Hi guys,
I am after a bit of advice.i am going to live in greece (near corfu) this summer.I have been told i need a 1.2m dish to get any s*y channels,with card obviusly.I also want to get ART sports so apparently need a reciever with 2 card slots.I was recommended a Technomate 7755 for the job.does that sound good to anyone out there.
Any other advice would be great
Cheers

If you want the BBC & ITV you are going to be needing something nearer 2.5m in diameter!

yeah,not desperate about bbc and itv,just thought i would get sky and ART,do you know anything about the tm 7755

Technomates are decent enough receivers - the folks who own the 7755 on the forum seem to like it..

If he gets sky, wont he receive BBC and ITV through sky??? ... even though he's near Corfu isnt it the same?

just wondered?

No, they are on Astra 2D, a very limited footprint and requires better than 2.4m dish in Corfu.

i really wanted to know about getting s*y and ART with the same machine,is this realistic,and is the technomate 7755 the best for the job.Alternatively would it be easier to get a different receiver for ART and an ordinary s*y digibox.

Yes - get the two receivers. MUCH easier
