I don't think BBC is possible to pick up. I believe it requires a different LNB
and dish (one of the big mesh dishes).

Check this out:
http://www.lyngsat.com/asia.shtml

And:
http://www.lyngsat.com/pas2.shtml

Doesn't appear to be any compelling digital+clear content on PAS2.

What about Optus B1?
http://www.lyngsat.com/optusb1.shtml

This includes Sky Satellite TV, but of course those streams are encrypted.

All the clear content appears to be non-English.

So there doesn't appear to be any chance to put that dish+card to good use.

Regards,
Adam
