Hello Heidi,
You have a much better chance of reception if you use a freesat receiver & satellite dish. You have the choice of standard def / high def / high def hard disc recorder. prices are from £30 to £214 for the satellite receiver. Take a look at these links.
- Buy Bush BFSAT02SD Freesat SD Digital Box - Black. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .
and Humax FOXSAT-HDR | freesat+ box With 320GB Hard Drive PVR | Richer Sounds -
Use a local satellite installer to supply & fit the correct size & type of satellite dish for your location, good luck & if you require further help just ask.

Mark,
Yes we could do that in Belgium, and in fact I'm doing just that.
But where is the fun in using my sattelite dish, if there is a possibility of reception with an areal?
But, I guess, that's what amateurism is.
Greetings from Belgium ... and a happy new year ...
Johan

Hello Heidi,
Im sorry I dont know any installers in Belgium. Your best bet is to contact the british expat community & seek advice on dish size & prices or maybe Mr Johan Saelens
could advise you as he has better local knowledge than I in your country.
