Ozpinar 1 New Member	Satalite tv Could anyone recommend a satellite system that gives me more British channels? As the one I have only gives me BBC Prime and 24Hr News. I have a home in Akbuk.

pypyn member	Re: Satalite tv We have Goldmaster installed.We get a lot of English programmes including around 10 music stations (MTV ect) Eurosport ( for himself ) Sky news BBC world news CNN loads of movie channels and lots more.This was a one off payment of £145 or thereabouts.The only downfall is that every 2 weeks or so the box has to be descrambled at a cost of 10TL.You also have to have 2 dishes.Hope this is of help to you and good luck

Cantaloupe New Member	Re: Satalite tv I am considering what TV/sat package to install in my new flat in Altinkum. From reading the various postings, I am thinking about going for the Hotbird sat. 1. However, when looking at the channel listings, I am confused regarding the differences between 1/2/3/4/5/6, which one would work in Altinkum? 2. What size of dish should I be looking at? 3. Is there any restrictions of installing a sat-dish in flats? (I do have 2 balconies) I apolegise for my ignorance, many thanks.

Hi Cantaloupe,
The Hotbird satellites 1-6 are all in the same orbital position. Some are a little more powerfull than others but basicly you would receive them all if you had the correct size of satellite dish ( 80cm-1 meter ) would be more than sufficient.
There are no real restrictions for installation and your dealer will ensure that it has a good clear unobstructed view and signal.
You will however need to upgrade the software in your receiver if you want to view the encrypted channels. There are some dealers who will do this for you or you can do it yourself and it is very easy (and free). I have a motorised dish in England and I can receive channels from all over Europe.
If you need any more info send me a PM and I will try to help you

Regards

Allan
