Tv channels turning off (1 Viewer)

[Dreamchaserrv]

If you are in Spain you may have noticed if you have had your television on today that you have no Channel 5 in Spain on tghe costas.
The channel along with some of the ITV channels have been moved to the new narrow beam satelite more channels, BBC1,2 Channel 4 and others are likely to follow before the end of the year.
So if you want to keep up with your corry street in Spain you will probably need a 2 metre or so dish on the roof of your camper/caravan, really practical that.

The powers that be in the UK obviously feel that you are getting something you should't have so they had better stop it.

More information can be found on www.satandpcguy.com a very handy web site in Spain.

Yes but our compensation is wall to walll sunshine, Has your snow arrived yet?

All channels romped in on 60cm dish ( with pretty damned good LNB glued on the front ! ) in southern Spain.. Loads of peeps with massive free standing dishes but my little old automatic works just fine on the roof !

A lot of people use huge dishes and rather duff LNB's ( I saw a couple that were actually rated at 1.2dB and higher.. I have a .6 on at the moment but am about to swap it out for a .1dB unit.. Not a cheapo option but it works very well indeed :thumb:

Not in the slightest, the post was intended in a FUN humourous way....

Merely Banter replying to your Banter.....

Perhaps though your sense of humour is like your Ch 5, :wooo:...
