Re: Satelite dishes
it really depends what you want to watch....
many channels are available on an 80cm dish
some of the main uk channels (bbc itv) may need anything up from 1.5 to 2.4
even then you may find that some channels are not available 24/7.
i am sure someone will be along soon with better details for your area.
EDIT : forgot to mention, if you have a sky card in the uk bring it out with you...it will save you some money as opposed to getting all arranged here ...but rememeber to skhange the sky accounts address to an uk address of a frined or familty so you get bils, mags and any new cards that are being issued.
