Not possible - its below the eastern horizon in the UK. You have to watch them on the European satellites..
You have no chance whatsoever with the Vectones - those closed down years ago!

You will be able to get some of the channels listed free to air on other satellites.
but only on sats that we can 'see' from Europe. TVEi is on Hotbird(13E) and Astra1(19E) for example. DW-TV is on Astra1(19E). Both Free to air, your dish should be suficient, your receiver should be capable if an OTA software upgrade hasn't nobbled it more since I last got them. B4U movies is on Hotbird FTA, B4U music is on 9E FTA MTA is on Hotbird FTA Zee TV and music are both on 9E FTA AS for the other channels, you can check for yoursef using this site http://en.kingofsat.net/search.php Any encrypted channels may prove to expensive to get a subscription to.
