Hello

Does anyone use Freesat from Sky - If so do you get good reception from the 1.8m dish?

Hi, I've got a Sky Freesat on a 1.8 and get loads of channels.



I've also got an HD box, so I can compare the channel selection and reception.



If you want to know more, like the channel list etc, let me know. Good luck.

You WON'T get:



BBC 1-4 TV - you need a 4.2m dish and don't need a Freesat from SKY card, any way !



ITV 1 - std definition - you CAN get certain ITV1's on a 1.8m - you DO need a Freesat from SKY card or a working monthly subscription card - as those ITV's are scrambled...



ITV1 - HD - you CAN get certain ITV1's on a 1.8m - you DO need a Freesat from SKY card or a working monthly subscription card - as those ITV's are scrambled...



Channels below: DON'T need any card and they WILL work on a 1.8m :
