I'm in a similar reception region to southern Spain, with a 30cm mini dish. Can't get BBC, ITV or Channel four channels, but still pick up the Five and a few others. You'll need a 100cm+ to get the ones I'm missing. | |

Whats with the curly bit over Spain and Portugal? And how do you get the box unlocked for recording with no subscription, that would be very useful as we only watch Freeview channels anyway! | |

Meh, seems like a lot of effort for little gain. | |

can hook it up to a dish and get any of the free to air channels (basically anything you can get on freesat from sky - but you'll need to stick a card in from the freesat from sky website, unless it's got a deactivated card in it from a previous sky sub (I think) will still allow you to watch everything free to air. Getting all the channels like you can on cable isn't easy at all. Also the record function will not function, however you can ask sky to activate it I think possibly for a small charge. | |
