I have a 90cm dish and am getting quite a few channels including Channel 4 & 5(on card), sky news , sky 3, cnn, golf channell etc. I am not picking up any BBC's. I can also get quite a few of the fta movie channels.I am wondering how I can get the freeview BBC's etc and if this is possible. I can get the listings as i tune in to the freeview BBC's but not the channel ?.

Any help pointers appreciated

You need a bigger dish. The BBC channels are carried on Astra 2D which has a spotbeam which is focussed on the UK.

Something around a 2.4m dish should give you a reasonable chance!!

Edited to improve dish size details
