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.

A budget FTA digital satellite receiver and a 1.8M dish pointed at 28.5E
will get you English language TV via the Astra cluster and Eurobird 1. A sky
subscription viewing card can be registered from the UK and sent on.

As far east as Turkey?! You'd need more like Jodrell bank than a 1.8m

That's excluding Astra 2D. 4M Would get Astra 2D.

I was thinking a dish of something like 4m to get the sky package. Basically
I want to be able to give my friend English FTA language channels plus some
of the encrypted channels (I must be able to support any encryption changes
from the UK). The Hotbird satellites (or whatever their new name is) at
28.5E seem to be among the better options at the moment. Can I get these
with a smaller dish than 1.8M though as she doesn't want a roof covered in
dishes and groundspace is limited slightly.

It is always best to ask those questions to a LOCAL satellite dish installer
as they have the experience you need to answer them. Coverage maps won't
tell you in detail how the signal is in a certain city.

I agree Rob and I will do that when I go over to fit it all but at the
moment I'm just trying to sort out exactly what I'll need as obtaining
things over there is usually a nightmare owing to local apathy, nothing is
so urgent it won't wait a week.

At the moment I'm looking at any decent quality Sat receiver, a suitablky
sized dish (which will have to be sourced locally) plus some sort of
decoder. Time to look into encryption methods used on those satellites at
28.5E I think.

The unencoded channels would meet your stated requirement, why make it more
difficult?

Typical of a woman she also wants to be able to watch movies, most of which
are encrypted. I think I'll get a listing of enencoded channels on those
satellites and if it looks like enough to keep her happy then I'll set it up
just for that. The big advantage is that I won't have to worry about
continually updating encryption codes so the system should run a lot
smoother.

I will source the receiver etc in the UK and take it across next time I go
but get the dish itself over there.

If you're in Turkey then you'll get a few channels on ArabSat/Badr at
26 deg. which show films (including MBC/Bahrein/Saudi TV) if you don't
find Arabic subtitles a distraction.
