I ain't looked online to see what is available with satellite TV across Europe, but maybe investing in the new receiver and a motorised dish and positioner would be worth it. Years ago I (yes, me, on my own with no help from any professionals) fitted a 1m Gregorian dish with a motor up it's bum when I was still in Jockistan and could get one heck of a selection of channels (a digital receiver, as well as the old Sky analogue one, just to show how long ago it was, was involved too) for free. That sort of investment MAY be worth it, since you should be able to pick up signals that you normally would not get without a bigger dish (the 1m Gregorian was the equivalent of one that was at least 2m wide) and so you MIGHT get a return that is more than just getting a new receiver.

IMO, it's worth looking at. I can't because I live in a rented apartment and I don't think the landlord would be keen on something like that appearing, and since we live on a street that runs north/south then such a thing would be useless. In the future, however............
