[QUOTE="JTA, post: 563983, member: 191063"] All of the FTA channels of BBC/ITV/c4 are on the Astra 2D satellite which you are apparently unable to recieve in Berlin. Have a look at it's footprint : http_//www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/astra2d.html Berlin seems to be at the edge, so I'd go for a 1 meter dish (or bigger) if you want to receieve the FTA channels. some of the ITV-c4 channels are on the other Astra 2 satellites (so NO : one satellite is NOT the same as another satellite, even if they occupy the same orbital position. All depends on the frequency & footprint used) and are encrypted, so you will need a Sky card to view these channels. any sky box will work if it has a valid sky card inserted. What you can or cannot receive depends of course on the subscription which has been activated on that card. An FTV card will give you ITV/c4/five/sky3 only. For a subscription, you will need a valid adress in the UK. For Setanta, you again need a valid Sky card (may be FTV) and a valid adress in the UK. a sky digibox will NOT be able to access the other LNB's on Astra1 and Hotbird. In your case you might consider a more versatile receiver capable of receiving multiple satellites, with a Dragon/T-rex CAM to access your Sky card. Or a dreambox (best choice, but needs more maintenance). [/QUOTE]
