satellite tv and hacks in Turkey

[sempo]

I used to be a regular poster in this group some years ago but life overtook
me and I lost track. I now need a bit of advice.

I have a friend living in the southern part of turkey who wants ot be able
to watch English language TV, so I am planning to put together a system and
instal it for her. Obviously this is going to have to include some form of
decryption which I must be able to support from the UK or be able to give
her any equipment needed and teach her how to do updates. Due to limited
space dish size needs to be a small as possible.

All items, dish, receiver etc etc are open for consideration at the moment.
So if anyone has any suggestions or has actually done this in Turkey I'd
appreciate the feedback as I'd like to get it operational as soon as
possible.

You don't need a receiver to decrpyt the UK television channels. These
are FTA on Astra 28.2e so an FTA receiver is fine. The channels are
listed here on www.freesat.co.uk

Most channels that he will want are on the satellites 2D beam, which is
focused on the British Isles. You will require a 5 metre wide dish to
receive these channels, so as small as possible might be a tall order.

Here is post from someone recieves the same channels in Cyrus on a
4.2metre in diametre dish
