    Is there another (price comparable) way of getting satalite TV including ITV, Channel 4 and channel 5 (maybe ITV 2 ?) ?
    Also, is the signal you receive digital and widescreen ?
    How do you set this up - ie point it at the right satalite ?

    This seems a great item for me as I live in a very poor quality TV signal area so no chance of using Freeview, and will hopefully improve my fuzzy picture (thought sadly to late for todays Monaco grand prix ;) )

    For ITV1/2, Ch4, Ch5 you need a sky box (£150 for non-subscription option inc installation)

    ITV1/2 may be going FTA on satellite, the indication being ITV3 is already FTA. CH4 will be FTA in 2008 when there current contract with sky finishes.
