Thanks mel I have been wanting one of those

Hi rochford6.

                   Did you try using a larger dish, or just the supplied 35cm dish?.

Francais, i have used two of them here in Holland and both got returned. never managed to get any reception on either of them, last one i returned the store manager said he had quite a few returned to him.

Tip , once connected up and switched on select the sat channel you want ( some are preset eg BBC1 ) , you'll probably have no signal displayed on the screen , now press info button on hand set to tune your dish in , you need to know roughly which direction to point it ( approx 142 degrees on a compass and your "dish" pointing just a shade past straight up ) , if you pick up foreign channels near the compass setting you have picked up the wrong satellite , switch unit off and start again .

Hi trouter.

              The reason why you don't always get BBC/ITV is because they are caried on the spot beam of the Astra2 Fleet of satellites, most other channels are carried on the wide beam, this is why Sky use a (Zone2) 58cm size dish for Scotland and a (Zone1) 43cm dish for most of the rest of UK, all you need to do is get a 55cm dish, and you will get all the channels no problem. hope that helps.

i've just got the netto one dish and box set in a case and it is brilliant took 10 min set up the first time.  The dish is only small but worked well in Angelsey we even got some sky channels.
