So just to be clear about this

If I bring out a freesat box and buy a 3m dish will I be able to get ITV, BBC, C4 etc?

Yes, if you get Gary (Echostar) to install and align it. BBC1 but not BBC2, ITV 1-4 Ch4 CH5 plus quite a few others

"We currently have a small tv, connected to a Next Sat Box (without a card slot) and we get about 12 English speaking tv stations - 500 non English and 150 radio stations.

If I took an lcd tv with built in freeview over to Fethiye - plugged in my aerial lead (2 x 1m dishes on the roof - 1 hotbird - not sure what the other does but I think the fitter said it gets local stations) and did a set up scan - will it find any stations????

Secondly, will the CI slot on the "new" tv and the dishes mean I can buy a card / set up arrangement from Echostar - without needing to buy any further equipment?

You may have concluded I am not very "technical" when it comes to aerials??? "

Ian sorry to quote you without askin first. May i ask what are the English TV channels, and, do you get any English Radio channels. Sorry to ask but i am completely at sea with Satellite stuff. Did you get the box and dishes in Tutkey ?

Many thanks, Regards, Steve.

Steve - we had 2 dishes fitted and bought a Next satellite box from a local dealer for about £100 - all-in - dishes fitted on the roof - 2 years ago. They tuned one dish in to turksih tv and one to hotbird.

So on Hotbird we get: BBC World News / TNT / MTV / Cartoon Channels / Bloomberg / France Today / Russia Today / Al Jazeera / CNN and a couple of others.

I always seem to be able to find an English film with subtitles in another language - but spoken in English. I also manage to pick up football from all over Europe but not Premier League - but I do seem to get FA Cup and International matches.

If I did it again it seems I would have been better buying a Satellite box with a card slot (for an extra tenner!) because then I could have bought a system from Echostar for a one off payment and "obtained" a card ythat would have given me access to more traditional UK channels.

But then again as a tourist there is only so much tv you can watch !!!!!!!

Hope that helps?

Ian
