2) There is a third way of seeing the same programme, a standard FTA
(free to air) satellite receiver as one would buy on the mainland.


Forgot to add. These can be bought as kits from places like Maplin
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=218642, or the bits
can be bought separately.

It is possible to sometimes buy satellite stuff more cheaply in
places like Lidl. The receivers from there are well worth looking
out for as they are good quality, as is the satellite in a suitcase
kit. The latter is also available all the time, for more money, from
Maplin http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48737.
