I really wish that someone in Greece confirm that 2.40 dish is enough for Astra 2D. Because in Greece as far as I know they need at least 4 to 5 mt.

A 3.80 in Rome the price is about € 1600, mine installer just told me for a dish that bit we need to be authorize from the Ministero delle Poste Italiane, I'll check. Meatball tolks about BBC changing satellite can you give more information? Thanks GG

Yes you can receive Ch4 & 5 with a 1.20mt dish but you need a bSKYb receiver and a card

Hi Mick Alberto told you called, I know that sometime he goes further away then your place,if you decide, trust him, he's a very nice man but most of all is the only satellite installer who knows what's doing and not " a cowboy". He put up my dish in '89 when SKY open. G.

The best installer in Rome (Fiumicino ) is Alberto Fasseri the phone no. is: 066522569 tell Him Giulio gave the phone No. Me too I should put up a 3.50 Mt dish unfortunately the garden is cover by the house plus €2000 it's a lot of money. At the moment my dish is on top of the roof but it's...

If this mail is for me (Casal Palocco) ,there is no chance with 1.80 must be 3.00. therefore Igave it up, hoping ITV1 & 2 move to the trasponders left free from BBC Jc

This is the reply from ITV, let's keep writing to ITV to take over the trasponders left free from BBC, at leats for us expats G Dear JG, Thanks for your email and your suggestion regarding our aquisition of the free transponders. We will gladly log and highlight your suggestion to our...

during the last two weeks there very few mail about Astra2d, it looks like that everybody gave it up to see BBC on 2d, what a pity J

We all expats should forget about the Beeb and go to this link http://www2.itv.com/about/viewers/?section=Still And ask ITV to move transpondres left free from BBC and use them for ITV 1 & ITV2 at least we have two more channels not receiveble now because they are on Astra2D Jg

If I had a big garden me too I would have a 3mt dish unfortunately I can't.plus don't forget the cost for a 4mt dish.For BBC Prime I just received a mail from BBC and it cost 75Pounds plus few other things, pity I din't save the mail, and you must have a motorise dish because BBC P. is on hot...

Hi expats in Rome What really p....off is that BBC decided to go on clear on Astra 2D because the signal covers only Uk due to programmes rights but it covers all of France, therefore lucky are the expat in France, but also the French who I do not think they pay the BBC licence, like I do JG

It's true but BBC24 has more news from home (UK), J

There is only one solution for all expats, forget about BBC 1 & 2, BBC should get a transpoder on Hotbird and at least send the BBC News 24 on clear, there are no films or football match therefore BBC does'nt infring the programme right Jg

Hi Mick 1539 Sorry the previous mail was sent by mistake, I've tryed a 2.20 in Roma too with no luck ( Area in Rome Casal Palocco) therefore I just say Goodby BBC and very much likely if SKY Italia has the double sound I subscribe to Sky Italia and cancel SKY UK. I hope BBC goes...
