I dont use sky so not sure but I think you might be able to get it with 1.8m dish and the 'red button' service ? I understand you could get bbc coverage of F1 via this route with 1.8m dish, even though you dont get BBC1 or 2 etc directly with 1.8m dish ?



Personally I use VPN - Iplayer route, decribed above, for F1 and no doubt will have a casual viewing of wimbledon as well via this route.

You DO NOT need a 4.2m to have GREAT BBC sat tv coverage !!



IF you have a SKY box or Freesat receiver - and a well installed 1.8m ( may be smaller) - no subscription needed - you can tune to BBC News 24 - press the red ( interactive) button and you'll have a CHOICE of games ;)

If you have dish receiving Nilesat (as for OSN) couldn't you pick up Al Jazeera Sports Free to Air channel which will be showing this? Commentary will be in Arabic...English language version only available with card/subscription.

Re message 5, Wimbledon is not usually on Eurosport although the other 3 majors are.

Jim I watched it when in Cyprus last year and got English language on Al Jazeera but perhaps it has changed .

re msg 11, Simbas



don't forget to wear distinctive clothing and dye your hair (say) shocking pink - so we can recognise you ;) !

I have a Next box and can pick up the Turksat 1C @ 42 East sat but can't find any channels on it at all - have been steadily tuning it for the past 3 days and now will give it up for a couple whilst my brain cools down. Fed up paying 50TL every time there is a power cut and the thing needs tuning in again.



What freq are you using on yours Yorg?
