During our January visit we bought a TV + Decoder and Dish. We were duly tuned in to Hotbird 1-5 with a massive 682 channels, some of which I'd rather not mention. However channels 1 - 12 were all free and English speaking and included BBC Choice, BBC Prime, 2 MTV channels and 2 Eurosport. When we came back in April only about 4 of the 12 were available. The other titles were prefixed with a $ sign which I assume means they are now pay channels. The guy at BEKO asked us to take our digibox in and he would "fix" it. We did so and he charged us 40 lire but it made absolutely no difference. He then said our dish needed checking but did not have time before we flew home. Has anyone had similar experiences anf if so what did you do.
