To go back to a previous answer in this thread reference BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Company) they take all their signals from the Eutelsat W3a footprint, if thats any good for you!!

BTW Duffer could I be so rude as to ask how much you paid for your dish and lnb etc without installation. Our friends have been quoted €190 but I'm not sure if thats just the dish or all the other bits included.
Not exactly sure. I paid €200 for the 125cm steel dish, wall mount, scaffolding pole and installation. The dish was about €105 and €30-€40 for the mount. €10 for the pole and about €10 for the LNB.

Really depends on the size of the dish and the make of LNB. If they are experiencing poor signal quality maybe a better quality expensive LNB is worth it however mine is a bog standard cheapo version.

I do believe captainmorgan from earlier on in the thread bought a 120cm dish from the same shop that supplies my antennista.

First night of signal loss with the new dish last night. I presume it was due to the heavy rain... Although the signal readings were still 90% for strength and quality

Hi. Thats good to know. I also realised why you paid less for the dish. Its because yours is in steel and the €200 one is in aluminum.

SO! England 3 Italy 0!

As a Leeds fan I wouldn't like to see chelsea in the final or for that matter win. So come on the 'pool.

Coming from an ex-Chelsea manager I'm not surprised!
Would you cheer for Man Ure, you being a Leeds fan, if they were playing Chelsea in the final?

I wouldn't exactly cheer for them but I would prefer from a football point of view for Man Utd to win. From a Leeds fan and a long long time ago service crew member I would not support either.

The thing is that the dish is a communal one therefore if I moved it there might be some complaints from the rest of the people in the flat that they cannot see anything. Or do you think the signal from Sky Italia is a lot stronger so a slight change won't harm...

Where in Vicenza are you watching Sky UK from?
Did you get your Sky Tv sorted out ?
