[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 10920, member: 175144"] Since the Sky box can accept limited symbol rates, you are stuck with one or two transponders on Astra 1 and Hotbird (with maybe a chance of Hispasat) that provide Spanish TV if your location allows it. Your standard Zone 1 dish will not normally be large enough for reliable reception on these satellites if you move it on the wall (though I know somebody reading will state the opposite) If you can get your friendly installer to fit a Zone 2 dish in a loction where you can easily access it, you should find that with some trial and error you will see pictures when you retune to the right frequency Thats the cheapest way, as you get the equipment for nothing with a Sky subscription (unless your installer finds one of a million possible / hyperthetical reasons to charge you for non standard fitting).
