Get a satellite dish
You will need a satellite dish antenna with an LNB (the device at the front of the dish that picks up the signals collected by the dish reflector) to receive the TV signals from the ASTRA satellites. These are inexpensive and can be purchased from retail stores and specialist satellite TV dealers.
Your dish needs to be fixed in position on your home (or in the garden), aimed precisely at the orbital position where ASTRA satellites broadcast the channels that you want, and fitted with cables to take the signals into your home.

The ASTRA satellites are located in five ‘orbital positions’ in the sky over Europe with one or more satellites at each position. Usually, your dish will pick up signals from just one of these positions (although special dishes are available to receive signals from two or more positions). The size of the dish you need depends on which orbital position the signals are coming from and on your own location within the satellite beam, or ‘footprint’.
In many countries, a dish of only 45-60cm diameter is all you require. You can get guidance on the size you need from the individual broadcasters, from Pay-TV service providers and by referring to the footprint maps in our Channel Guide.
