Thanks for replies - Mark 1 - spoke with Gary and may go for that option BUT I still have a problem with no Internet and the package is really reduced now to basically a few channels - ITV & Ch 4 with the plus 1's on both and some radio stations.
So thinking that Internet and UK TV might be a better option and solves my Internet problem as I am about to start using a dongle I brought over - tested it yesterday - works fine but will cost me 39 TL a month.
Mark 2 - by PTT do you mean the main post office in town?
And would 8mb be ok for watching tv?
And finally finally - I am using a 160gb Acer netbook over here as it is easy to carry on my scooter - 1 mb RAM - should that work with UKTV and is it easy to get the right cable to throw picture to my tv screen?
Thanks again to all - this forum really is great for this sort of information
