    Hi all
    new to this so bare with me,
    I have installed satellite tv in southern spain down around alicanti
    area, I bought a dish and receiver in lidl in spain, spent hours trying to line it up and when i eventually got it tuned in I can only receive shopping or channels which are of no interest, I can receive sky news but thats it, I have an 80cm dish, any advice or help would be very much appreciated

    I don't know a whole lot about Satellite Tv, but SatcoDX might not be a bad place for you to begin. Here's their website; http://www.satcodx.info/ Good Luck, Rev

    Thanks Rev,
    A lot of technical stuff on that web site, as I am not a techi, i need satellite for dummies, Some people have said its near impossible to receive Uk channels in southern Spain without the use of a very large dish, a lot of TV outlets are selling the smaller disk with a list of UK channels on the box, so you can understand why I am confused. Thanks for taking the time to help.

    I assume so as everything came in the box, unless the FTR is a different type receiver. A lot of the sky type channels appear with a dollar symbol beside them, I can receive CNN and some asian channels so Im assuming the dish is lined up correctly.
