    If you live in Europe, can pick up the Astra2 satellites at 28.2degE and go thru Sky,you must have a valid UK home address for subscription or get someone in the UK to subscribe for you on your behalf, then you can have it on the continent. Depending on where you are in Europe dish sizes will vary all over the continent;
    Astra 2A/2B/2C North beam covers Northern Europe at high power ignoring southern parts with a sidelobe to SW Greece while Astra 2A/2B/2C south beam covers nearly all of the continent, but if you are after UK TV, you may be interested in the Astra2D satellite which is focussed tightly on the UK and part of NW Europe but can be got be got further with bigger dishes. Check out www.astra2d.com for details of reception reports and dish sizes required.
    ...at least there is no subscription there and best of all it's FREE!
