I would go along with what JVT said. remember to be careful about Digi box as some are much more sensitive to weak SAT signals than others. As far as I know the Panasonic TU-DSB30 is no longer in production but there are other good models, check the internet SAT stores on the Links page

If youwant SKY & C4, C5, Radio 2 & Radio 4 but can live without BBC & ITV then a 80 CM / 1M dish and any old LNB will be ok. To get BBC you will need a dish of 2-2,5 M at a minimum. Ok if you have a garden but obviously not if you live in an apartment

Cyfra+ the local sat provider offers BBC world, BBC prime and some channels (discovery, hallmark)and film channels (HBO) where the original language (English) can be selected
