    ordering sky from abroad

    If you get the card from ROI,, you may miss a some of the channels such as ITV and BBC, which may be excluded from your card line up and you may be offered RTE channels instead, the problem is that I believe they are very difficult to receive in your area without a very big dish.. Suggest you...

    pace 2500B, 2600C1 or DS430?

    Got one of each on a twin Invacom 003db C120 on a 2.4m solid dish, The 2600 outperforms the 430 in Spades, on the weaker channels, IE BBC2 is receivable about an hour before it comes in on the 430N, .,.,. BBC2/3/4 will drift out before I lose it on the 2600... Upside of the 430N is that there...
