I take mine out and it works just fine. JJ

Yes done that bought the Sky + box on ebay and brought it down then gotsky on my UK mobile and they did it then and there while we watched.

why not get a dreambox and get all the sky and freesat you want ..plus just about anyother european channel ..even sky germany or zon or canal+ etc etc

Tell us more please - which model, where from, set-up and more....

Thanks

you will need either a motorised dish or multi lnb to do that i think.

just need a dish or 2 if you want to get more channels and no need to motorized dish , it is very easy and simple, in my case i will give you an example i have a small dish for portuguese channels (xon and meo) then i have a 80cm dish for channels from spain (canl+) french, duxth(canaldigitaal),sky german, sky italia ,polish and some other ones ,anyway the moral of the story is as far as sports get to watch all european leafues any time i want (actually at the time the matches are live) as far as movies and series they all come with english audio so it is just a matter of switching even if it is in german or italian...this my case since i speak portuguese english and spanish ,,,now if you only desire sky uk..well just get one dish and point it to it , by the way i only use one receiver to watch all 3 satelites i am looking at and no need to do anything besides searching for the channel i want (zapping).. and i have room for one more sat so my next one will be sky uk..but like i said in my case it was this option i wanted and needed ..but wveyone has their own needs ...so it is up to you..anyway i am near vilamoura if anyone wants to see how it works let me know and i will be glad to show you and help you...that was long..uff

forgot to mention this using my dreambox ..and no need to pay 50€ to have all this channels ,,

each to his own...

nor 20

Is anybody in the Algarve receiving BBCiPlayer via Freesat yet ? I would be very interested to know how they set it up.

According to the freesat info pages you have to have you BB connection to the TV as well as your sat dish. We have the same TV in UK and here and we updated the software there in the summer and it works fine with the BB connection. I updated the software here last week but have not got BB so cannot try it.
