hi all, a friend has an apartment in tenerife and has taken a spiderbox with him to view english tv.
he can pick up most of the channels on 28.2 inc sky sports movies, ect but can not pick up bbc channels and has been told over there that he needs a bigger dish than the one he has got (approx 1 meter)
any suggestion would be great

p.s
i put the channel list into the stb and only put bbc1 yorks and bbc2 england and left out all the other bbc channels.

Tell him to try a rescan it's just possible he might get one of the regional BBC channels, or I'm afraid possibility a 2mtr dish might be called for.
Rescan first.

yes,thanks jimi i am reading another forum and it seems like bbc trasmit from astra 2d which means over there a 3m dish is req.
 
hi
i know this has been discussed before in previous threads,
excuse me if i've had too many beers but, is there a dish and LNB that can be bought that is smaller than 2m but will have the power/ability to pull in the same signal of a 2m dish

Cheers
