Re: Where to point Sky dish...

Problem is that most sats are either foriegn language or encrypted. I have a steerable 1 meter dish connected to an old analogue pace box and a DGS Mutant digital reciever. The main groups with english language (or have an english sub audio) are HOTBIRD 13E (Spanish, German and other euro/North african networks), Astra 19.2E (this is the old Astra position which used to be used for the analogue signal and not digital but now carries a lot of French channels)

There's still some unencrypted analogue on 19.2E but these are mainly German though Eurosport is FTA and has an english sub-audio.

Remember though that most of the channels (films, fox, national geo) you'd want to watch are encrypted using Nagravision 3 which needs a subscription
