like we do in the UK?



Also, I've got a satellite dish in the new place I'm moving in to. Is it just a case of 'plug and play' as it were? Or will I need to buy some sort of receiver. If so, anyone any suggestions where to buy and cost?



Thanks.

Good point michelle and thankyou for bringing that to my attention. I have now ordered a 40ft container load. They will also be available in camouflage. Lots of interest already.

Dear all, sorry to pester but I've got a satellite dish in the new place I'm moving in to. Do you know if it's just a case of 'plug and play' as it were? Or will I need to buy some sort of receiver to pick up signals. If so, anyone any suggestions where to buy and cost?

Does that mean that I do need a receiver?



Who's BillyB or Goonhilly that I need to contact and where are they?

What you will receive depends on what your dish is pointing at. Yes you will require a receiver. Go to Tektan in Girne, they have all sorts available. They will also align your dish for best results. I recommend that you have it pointed at Nilesat as this provides a number of free to air english language channels.
