To watch Sky
TV in Switzerland you will need a Sky Box, a Sky Dish, a Sky Card and of
course a Sky subscription. We can supply you with all of these things but we do not normally
supply dishes as it is cheaper to buy the dish where you are because of shipping costs, plus it is
always better to have a profesional installer,install and align the dish. Naturally if you have a
suitable Sky box already we would be happy to just supply a Sky card and subscription.Lets look at
the details.

SKY
DISH
To be able to receive Sky in
Switzerland you will need a Sky dish between 0.8 - 1.8 metres depending on
where you are and what channels you require. To receive
channels such as BBC1 and ITV which are on one of the Astra satellites called Astra 2d you need to
go for a bigger dish.The
reason for this is because it has a weaker signal for reception outside of the UK. It is important
that you buy a good quality dish and LNB. The LNB we would recommend is the Invacom 0.3db. We have
many UK expats in Switzerland who enjoy Sky Sports Switzerland with
excellent reception due to the quality of equipment they have used. Dish size
depends on your area, for example in Zurich you need a dish between 1.2 and 1.8 metres, depending
on the channels you want. You need the bigger dish if you want the Astra 2d channels. I would just
say that you cannot beat local knowledge as we know of several customers in Switzerland using a lot
smaller dishes with good results.
What we normally advise customers
is if possible buy a dish which is bigger than you probably need. A rule of thumb is if
you know someone who is receiving the sky channels in Switzerland that you want and is
near you then simply ask them what size dish they have or even measure it.
Finally one of the best sources
of advice are local dish installers in your area as they will probably have fitted dishes for other
customers in your area and will advise you the best size dish to buy.
From our point of view
there is nothing worse for us than a disappointed customer because although we have supplied
equipment with excellent visual and audio quality to enable them for example to watch Sky
Sports in Spain, they do not get the best from it due to them fitting an unsuitable dish
for receiving Sky TV in Switzerland
IMPORTANT - The dish sizes recommended
are a rough guide only to help you and we accept no responsibility for any of our equipment not
working due to customers fitting incorrect sized dishes

Administration and UK
Address
Whether you deal with us or not the most important thing is to have someone IN THE UK
who knows what they are doing to look after the system and card should any problems occur. We have
a team of people who are available 365 days a year to ensure that you have trouble free
viewing.
You also have to have a UK
address which we supply. We can use your UK address but invariably when we get a problem because of
an address it is normally on cards where the customer has supplied his own
address.
We make a small yearly charge
for looking after the card and supplying the UK address. It works out at about 0.40p a day (that is
less than the cost of a newspaper) which I feel sure you will agree is excellent value for money
for peace of mind.
OK so if you want to be
watching Sky TV in Switzerland in the next few days simply drop us an email or give us a ring
(details below) and we will be happy to help .
