    Hi mayoman1976 dish size is 60cm. In order to receive ITV, CH4, CH5 you need a UK sub.

    I don't know the exact size, but I think it's around 80 x 60 cm. I know the UK ones are smaller, cause they're closer to the satelite.

    No, you can't get ANY of those channels, but you can get ITV3, for some reason.

    Edit: Is it not 60cm in the UK?

    I have ITV,Ch 4 and FIVE on my digibox using a FTV card that I bought at the beginning of the year.

    With an Irish sub those channels are not possible ATM.

    Hi there,
    I bought my card from the offical Free2View site now closed, I ordered it via the site and it was sent to my pal in Leeds and he posted it to me!!! and the rest you know!!! If you are in the UK I'm sure you can get a FTV card officially without having to go down the Ebay route!!!
    Read this for lots of FTV info!!!
    Yes it is a shame RTE is not FTA/V why not mail complaints@rte.ie and ask all the people you know in the UK that want RTE to do the same.
    Feel free to ask any questions :D:D:D
    Read my sig!!!
