    Yes, it should do that quite easily as long as you can find a spot that has a clear view of the southern sky to install the dish.
    A motorised install will cost upward of £150

    Try to find an installer that's a member of the CAI http://www.cai.org.uk/asp/installer.asp
    Tell them you want a Technomate 1500Ci Super & see what sort of deal they'll do.
    They may well suggest different dishes etc. to do the job - which is fine - but I'd stick to my guns regarding the Technomate receiver, it is head & shoulders above anything else at that price.

    Help more confused
    Spoke to company in Banbury they said, didnt think able to recieve anything in Spanish on Astra or Hispasat as were all encrypted.
    But could have Hotbird as knew tve were definetly free? Is this correct.

    Also said buy Satellite and Tv Europe will tell you whats free.
    Also thought maybe difficult to access both Astra and Hispasat as one east one west, even with motor. Which he said for 90cm dish and motor would be £450 plus reciever and fitting.

    Said he could source or best if i could buy then he would fit ?

    What do i do know
    Cheers

    Guy, check your PM

    you get this at 19e and 30w. Nagravision card needed to get it and also Spanish address.....for simplicity, I would fix a dish pointing at 19e as you will get lots of channels there - maybe consider a monoblock so that you get 13e too.

    There is little "cracked" in the way of channels at the moment ;)
    In the United Kingdom 200,000 people are bitten by dogs every year and some people will die as a result. Of those bitten, 70% are children... So the question has to be asked....... Has the time come to ban children?
  • Can I add to this please with the following questions?
    My wife and I are moving to a purpose built (2004) flat on the Kent coast. There is, so we are told, a satellite dish on the roof three floors up and Sky have subscribers in the block.
    Questions are; Do we have to go with Sky or can we just buy any old receiver? also,my wife and I would like to view some of the French TV programmes is this possible via the exsiting dish please?
