hey folks just a quick Q.
on www.lyngsat.com it says these chanels are free. Would you still need a FTA Card to get them?

DMC · 13-03-2002 01:57PM

Erm, only if you have a dish the size of a car bonnet! And then some.....

You won't be able to get it with a standard Sky dish

Sky (on Astra and Eurobird) is at 28 degrees E, Intelsat 804 is way, way off in the horizon at 64 degrees E.

I like your thinking though

Some lad in Saudi is probably trying to make head nor tail of "Pop Idol"!!

never even thought about that!!
The stress of being a student. My brian is fryied

No worries at all

When I saw it earlier, I thought about it too. But the Saudi watching Coronation Street seemed a funnier prospect!

The beam is strong for Europe but i can see that low on the hosizon, i might mount a temp dish to check it out cus im kinda bored waiting for this damn Xbox to arrive.

3644 R? Isn't that CBand? I thought you needed a huge dish for cband, not to mention a different LNB for L/R polorisation and possibly a different reciever?
