anybody know the situation with sky tv? we bought a sattelite last time we were out there but it only had selected programmes bbc prime,eurosport& a lot of blue movies but we have been told if you take your sky box from the uk & keep paying the subscription it should still work, hope so otherwise i might go blind

depends on the size of your dish. You will need at least a 2 meter if not 2.5 meter dish to get any channels from astra.
Its not worth the hassle and risk to property damage to have a dish that size. Just get digiturk and its a lot cheaper then sky anyway.

digiturk is the turkish version of Sky. you got your movie channels and other discovery channels etc. you just press a button and the language would be in English or what ever the original soundtrack was. You get BBC world, CNN, Fox spews, plenty of kids channels in english, BBC prime for anyone sad enough to watch eastenders, 7 movies channels then you have all your box office channels, history etc and also live premiership matches at the weekends on NTV. all this for 32 million per month.

Funny thing it I can work it out in millions but find it hard when the noughts are gone!

OK 32 ytl not that there is any difference. Just that with living out here everybody still quotes prices in millions.
ask the bus driver the fare he says 1 million 100.
ask how much bread is they say 300 thousand.
YTL hasnt got into everyday language yet!

That suits me fine then. I have got to work out the "bits" as well with a crash course the week before we go. No good starting now, age is against me and I will forget it.
