What size of dish do you have just now? I'm not really in a position to help you technically, but I can tell you that I get ch4 ok with pace 2600, fuba dish(was told it is 90cm, but I can only find 85cm listed on site), samsung LNB (no idea the db). Like I said earlier, sometimes the box will...

How much do you think it would cost all in for 4.5 sat, other gubbins and install? And of course, would you be able to recommend someone for the job when/if I finally get round to it? I would ask the guy that did the stuff I have just now, but I am not confident he knows what he is doing well...

I already have Sky Italia and Sky UK, and find myself mostly watching Ch 4 and Ch5 (no 2d) most of the time. I'd was never much of a satellite viewer back in the UK, so I'd give up both systems I have here, just to get bbc, itv, 4 & 5. As can be read in "Astra 2D in Sicily", receiving 2D can...

You should check out www.astra2d.co.uk. I live in the Castelli Romani and I can't get 2d with a 1m dish and for CH4 I had to skew my LNB to prevent picture break-up which made that channel unwatchable. I dream about trying a 3.7m dish when I win the lotto and move to a house with a garden and...

I'd buy your dish no problem in a second to help me get Astra 2D, if it wasn't for the fact I live in Rome and from what I have read even a 2m dish is too small for me. )(-red

Hi, again thanks a lot. I didn't disbelieve you, my point, which I should have made clearer was how easy it seems to be for Eursat to squeeze money out of folk who don't have clue what thay are doing.£420 for a receiver!!! I wish I had there email here so I could quote directly to illustrate...

Thanks a lot, Sullivan's site seems just the thing I was looking for. I actually got Sky Italia installed yesterday simply because it was so cheap, and for the record I have to say I'm very impressed with the amount of English Language channels on it. But never the less I still wish to get...

I got mine from Ebay, no probs.

Thanks for that, I got a Pace 2600 which people are saying good things about for fringer reception here, and getting a card will be no problem as I've got a house in UK and all my family and friends are there. Like I stated at the start of this thread, I'm getting weary of the two tier pricing...

Ta, he quoted me €250 euros for the equipment(minus receiver), plus €360 euros for the install, standard prices I'd hope it wouldn't be more, as the install would simply be on my balcony with a cable running about 2 metres along the floor to my TV/Receiver. A receiver from him was another €650...

Ta, I've read a mention of them elsewhere in this forum too. I also see they advertise in wantedinrome, but as I'm getting a bit weary of the two tier pricing system some places seem to have here for foreigners and natives, I was trying to avoid them to keep my costs down. But I guess it's...

Hi, can anyone recommend an installer in or around Rome? I'm looking to get Sky and ideally try to get BBC too, but by reading other posts I don't think I don't think I'll have either the money or free space to get BBC even if it was possible. I'm wondering if someone could tell me how much I...

Hi, Can anyone recommend an installer in Glasgow please. I am looking to get a digital system installed that will point at the Hotbirds so that I will be able to pick up the Italian channels and thus keep my girlfriend happy. I would also like recomendations for the kit and cost of kit I...
