Fraid I can't help, but I'm sure as heck interseted if you are successful and what you had to do. 30km NE of Rome puts you not too far from where I am (outside Oriolo Romano, just N of Bracciano) so if anything works for you, it should work for me - and I do have the garden and the space, just...

Cheers Paul I guess I'll just skip the subsidy, then. In the end it's a lesser part of the cost in any case. Ron

Thank you Bigdish once again. You are a mine of information. I agree with the 28.2 even without BBC & co. My plan (once we're settled) is to get Sky installed back in the UK on a full package (would anyone recommend Sky+ for this?) and once operational shift the decoder & card out here. I would...

Ah well... At the moment nothing! We are buying a house (this is our second time round in Italy) about an hour N of Rome. When we were here before, close to Ostia, we had a Sky Digibox with a free to air card, and a 'Philips Gold Box' not sure of the model number - it's was tied to an Italian...

Not sure where the right place to post this query is so please forgive me if I'm in the wrong spot now (kind of my problem regarding satellite as well). Thing is, I'm north of Rome and there seems to be little in English language channels I can get without buying a dish the size of the moon. I...

Hi all Okay, so if I give up on the idea of ever being able to get the BBC channels without a dish bigger than my house (I'm around Rome), what can I get in English with reasonable equipment at a reasonable cost? Surfing around and I find very little English language broadcasts that I can...

Hi Denis, hi all Unfortunately I don't think it has, but sure I could get on ewithout too much hassle. I haven't looked at what has been sent to my UK address since BBC left and (I believe) new cards were issued. I followed your link but couldn't find any info about large dishes. Do you know...

Hi all I'd like to price out large dishes here in Italy (yes I know they are expensive, but I don't know just how much - you never know). Ron

I've asked everybody else, so... If anyone is up to the challenge, I would really like to find out how to get the NEC e606 unlocked. I'm on a 3 contract but have moved to Italy and my phone won't work here. I want to use 3 Italy, but 3 UK won't unlock it and 3 Italy say they can't. Most...

Sad, so sad. Still, regular access to Countdown would count for something. I have a digibox from before with the FTA card and all that. Will this suffice or do I need to subscribe to Sky or anything.

Hi all I note there are quite a few members on the forum in the Rome area. When I was here before I happily recieved BBC etc, but now... Now I've returned and will probably end up staying somewhere between Maccarese and Bracciano. Anyone with experience and/or suggestions in maximising the...
