Receiving British TV and Radio

...by Satellite, free of charge

It is now possible to receive by satellite, free of charge, a large number of BBC and ITV television stations, as well as Channel 5. Additionally, you can receive BBC Radios 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Live, several local BBC radio stations, the BBC World Service and some Irish stations– all in excellent quality.

No special box or contract is needed, but your satellite dish must be at least 80 cm in diameter (larger is better, especially in the south) and it must point towards the ASTRA 2D satellite, which is located at 28.2° East (not to be confused with Astra 1, a different satellite which does not carry BBC and ITV, and which is located at 19.2° East).
