Anyone know if one can pick up BBC TV by satellite in Italy?


I'm in the London area and can pick up Astra and Hotbird no problem
with my nearly 60cm wide/40cm high sky dish even in the rain. ...not
at the same time though with the single LNB.

BBC used to be on an astra sat with wider coverage but they switched
to one with more of a focus on the UK so for italy one would need a
massive dish.

Some sky boxes will pick up and store non-SKY fta channels but the
interface isn't very good so a regular satellite receiver would be
better.
