Which Service?
– General Information
There are
essentially 2 types of English language satellite television available:
* Free-to-Air (FTA) services - a simple digital satellite receiver,
connected to a 90cm dish mounted externally on a south facing aspect - a
balcony, wall or terrace are ideal. One time cost for equipment and
installation, no ongoing charges. Note that this service includes BBC, ITV,
Channel 4, Channel 5 and all popular radio and TV channels from UK.

* Subscription Services - essentially Sky subscription TV from UK. Same
receiver/decoder and dish as Free-to-View but a different card but with a
monthly charge. Over 250 potential TV and Radio channels, all in English
language, including a comprehensive range of movies, sport, childrens, news
and documentary to name but a few. HD and PVR (recordable) services are
possible only with this option.

Packages and their prices.
A typical TOTAL cost for supply and installation and setup of FTA services
is 450-500 Euros, and for FTV 600-650 Euros (inc 19% German VAT). Sky
subscription services begin from 850-950 including hardware, installation
and provision of subscription It's never easy to give a fixed price as we
don't know the circumstances of your installation.

Please also be aware that in general only one selected TV in your home can
receive the satellite channels we provide. There are sometimes possibilities
to provide services to 2 or more televisions, but there will certainly be
viewing limitations and often substantial additional costs.
