Tanks for your responses, we have been told a bigger dish would be needed for BBC/ITV, maybe something I'll look into on a later date. I did et the ITV channels for a couple of days when they first installed the 80cm dish, but after a couple of days they went. For now I think I'll try a 'Freesat' box, as Mike P suggested. I'm looking at the Manhattan Plaza HD-S2. Seems to have good reviews and for around 50GBP on Amazon..
Thanks again.

P.S Not that it matters, but I'm N/W Czech not N/E as I stated in my first post.

Mike, I'm not really up on sat systems but I looked at one of the 'Program Scrambled' channels 329 Dave, and the tv displays the below:
Transponder: 11993 MHz / Horizontal / 27500 kS/s
Signal Strength: 55
Signal quality: 100 (BER:0.0 X 1E-6)
Is this telling me the signal is there, but I just need the appropriate receiver to view it?
(Most other FTV channels show similar figures)
Thanks for your help as I'm getting a bit bored of the few channels I can watch....!

Thank you all for your advice, it looks like all the channels that are there but scrambled are from Sky, I was thinking Dave was a freesat FTV. Oh well looks like I'll have to get a bigger dish and a Sky subscription to stand a chance of watching UK channels. Or wait till they go to internet..
Thanks again.

I live in North East Czech, and have a 80cm dish on the chimney stack, and an internal receiver in the TV (Philips PFL7008K) I can receive some UK channels (Pick, Challange etc) But would like to have more choice. It looks like the 'Freeview' channels are available to me as the signal & quality strength of say 'Dave' is good.
Can you tell me what type of digi box I will need to buy to get these channels, as they show 'Program Scrambled' at the moment with my internal receiver.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanking you in advance
John
