derek500 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Channel five can now be received on small dishes out of the UK - 60cm for most of Europe and 90cm in the Canaries. You need to tune it in via 'add channels' 12421 H 27500 2/3 The channel is labelled 7505. It will only work with a Sky Digibox not an FTA box. You will still need a 'Freesat' card or Sky subscription. To view you need to find 7505 on 'other channels' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we need a 1.9m dish to get ITV/BBC/C4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compassavantgarde Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hi,Thanks for that info.But with a fixed dish at least it wont disappear like my tripod /dish did in the middle of the night at Narbonne last year.So I can at least get some news etc.At that site last april 3 vans were broken into,the only vans that did not have Dogs.We dont have a dog so they just took the dish equipment.We moved on to Leucate that day,only to find the following mornig that 2 vans had their garages broken into during the night there.No dogs on these vans either.Maybe theres a lesson to be learned here?

Terrytraveller Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hi Kevin, The sods are still at it then, we had similar experience at the then free aires at Leucate three years ago. Our next door neighbour heard a scream from a French MH across the park, he jumped out of his MH with a .22 calibre starting pistol and fired a couple of shots at them. They retaliated with a couple of stones, one stone hit a German MH next door to him, the German came out with an air rifle and the two sods ran away. We had the door unlocked but not opened, while overnighting on the Arromanches aire year before last at 2.30 in the morning, several others were actually broken into and things taken.

derek500 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 No afraid not. Apart from the C5 work around, using the red button on BBC Parliament, and receiving the BBCi feeds on a FTA non-Sky box, I don't know of any other UK terrestial signals on south beam.
