    Come on be realistic mate! For the benefit of people that are looking for information about receiving sky tv on the Costa Blanca... You do not need a 5M dish! FACT The most popular size dish in the Torrevieja area is a 1.9 dish or a 2.4, I live in Entre Naranjos just outside Los Montesinos...

    I think I could probably use a 1 metre dish in Torrevieja if I used a Humax Foxsat HD box as the HD frequencies are stronger tham the SD transmissions. If you want to receive ITV and CH4 then a 1.4 dish is the smallest dish that I would even consider installing as any smaller would not work when...
