This a good thread too http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=104748 and this one will tell you all what is possible if your fixed to 28.2 degrees east ie $ky http://www.lyngsat.com/dig/skyuk.shtml

One tip: Don't fill your Other Channels Option with more than say 20 channels as more than that it seems to toose them some how. Good luck and let us know how you get on!!!
